A car packed with explosives was found outside Mukesh Ambani's house. The NIA is investigating the case. Hiren, the owner of the vehicle that was found containing explosives materials outside the house of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, was found dead on March 5 in Thane. Investigation into his death was being probed by Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), till the MHA handed over the probe to the NIA.
Sachin Vaze, Assistant Police Inspector in the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) who was in charge of the Hiren case, was in NIA custody till March 25, for his alleged role and involvement in placing the explosives-laden vehicle outside the residence of Ambani. Later a special NIA court on March 25 allowed the agency custody till April 3.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut, who was a staunch supporter of Vaze, has now taken a U-turn after which Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam has slammed the Sena leader.
In this regard, Sanjay Nirupam tweeted, "Sanjay Raut has said that he was against the reinstatement of #Sachin_Vaze in the police. However, till yesterday they are calling Vaze honest and competent. Still, they will have to reveal the leaders name who got Vaze reinstated. #NIA should pick up Sanjay Raut to confront him with Vaze and bring out the names of his 'bosses.""When there was a plan to reinstate Sachin Vaze into the Maharashtra police force, I had informed some leaders that he could create problems for us. His behaviour and style of working could lead to some troubles for the government," he shared.When asked who were those leaders, Raut refused to reveal names and said that they are "well aware of my conversation with them"."A person is not bad, but sometimes a particular situation makes him so," he said.
