Sachin Vaze Arrested By NIA: Who Is The Mumbai Police ‘Encounter Specialist’ Arrested By NIA In The Ambani Residence Bomb Scare Case?
Sachin Hindurao Vaze was arrested late on March 13 by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). NIA is investigating the February 25 bomb scare outside Antilia, the south Mumbai residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani. Vaze has been remanded in NIA custody till March 25. Vaze is an Assistant Police Inspector of the Mumbai Police. He was one of the original group of Mumbai’s so-called “encounter specialists” alongside Pradeep Sharma & Daya Naik. He returned to the force in 2020 after a 16-year hiatus, for part of which he was under suspension, after which he quit the force. NIA has charged him with sections relating to conspiracy, criminal intimidation, negligent conduct in dealing with explosives, forgery, and possession of counterfeit seal. Vaze, who was in the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU), was virtually leading the investigation into the security scare outside Mukesh Ambani’s residence, Antilia. While there was no breakthrough in the case, startling allegations made by former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis introduced a fresh twist, which put Vaze front & centre in the mystery.
