"Police officer Sachin Waze placed under suspension by an order of Addl CP Special Branch," said S Chaitanya, Mumbai Police PRO.
Sachin Waze, Assistant Police Inspector in the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU), who was transferred to the Citizen Facilitation Centre at Mumbai Police Headquarters after his name came up in Mansukh Hiren death case, has been sent to NIA custody till March 25, in connection with his alleged role and involvement in placing an explosives-laden vehicle near Mukesh Amb's house in Mumbai on February 25.
Hiren, the owner of the vehicle that was found containing explosives outside the house of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Amb, was found dead in a creek on March 5 in Thane.
