Mumbai’s special NIA court grants bail to former Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze in the Antilia bomb scare case. The case centers on an SUV found with explosives near industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s residence. Waze also receives bail in the subsequent murder case involving Thane businessman Mansukh Hiran, who had been associated with the SUV. Both matters had drawn extensive attention amid allegations of a broader conspiracy.
According to the court’s reasoning reported by outlets, the prosecution does not successfully establish the charge of terrorism under the UAPA. The judge also cites an absence of evidence showing that the Ambani family was terrorized. In Hiran’s case, the court treats the death as homicide but does not find it linked to terrorism. Media accounts add that the legal process is ongoing and further details are expected.
