Background of the Case
In a startling development that has gripped Mumbai, former Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze has made serious allegations in the ongoing Rs 100 crore extortion case. Waze, who is already embroiled in the high-profile 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiren murder case, has accused former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh of being involved in the extortion racket. According to Waze, the proof of these allegations exists and has been submitted to the authorities.
Sachin Waze’s Allegations
Accusations Against Anil Deshmukh
In a recent statement, Sachin Waze claimed that the extorted money was funneled through Anil Deshmukh’s personal assistant. Waze has alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has obtained the proof and that he has also written a letter to Devendra Fadnavis, the current Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, detailing the evidence. This letter reportedly includes the name of Jayant Patil as well.
Waze’s Readiness for a Narco Test
Showing his willingness to prove his claims, Sachin Waze has expressed his readiness to undergo a narco test. This test, which involves the administration of truth serum to extract information, is seen as a significant move by Waze to substantiate his allegations. His readiness for the narco test highlights his confidence in the veracity of his claims.
The Antilia Bomb Scare and Mansukh Hiren Murder Case
The Antilia Bomb Scare
The Antilia bomb scare refers to the incident in February 2021, when a vehicle laden with explosives was found near the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani. This incident sent shockwaves across Mumbai, given the high-profile target and the potential threat to security. Sachin Waze, who was then an officer in the Mumbai Police, was arrested in connection with this case.
The Mansukh Hiren Murder Case
Adding to the controversy, Waze is also accused in the Mansukh Hiren murder case. Mansukh Hiren was the owner of the vehicle used in the Antilia bomb scare, and his subsequent murder further complicated the case. The investigation into Hiren’s death revealed a tangled web of deceit and corruption, with Waze at the center of the allegations.
Investigations and Legal Proceedings
Role of the CBI
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been actively involved in probing the extortion case. The agency has been meticulously gathering evidence and recording statements from various individuals connected to the case. Waze’s recent revelations and his letter to Devendra Fadnavis have added a new dimension to the investigation, necessitating a deeper examination of the alleged involvement of Anil Deshmukh and others.
