FollowThe National Investigation Agency (NIA) today arrested another Mumbai Police personnel in the Antilia bomb scare case. The NIA arrested Mumbai police inspector Sunil Mane for his alleged role in the case in which a Scorpio with gelatin sticks and a note addressed to the family inside was parked outside Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia home.
"Mane was called by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for questioning on Thursday for his alleged role in the Ambani security scare and Mansukh Hiran murder cases," an official said.
He was arrested after his involvement came to light, he said.
Sunil Mane was called by the NIA for questioning yesterday for his alleged role in the Ambani security scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case. He will be produced before a court today.
With this arrest, the NIA has apprehended five people in the case including Vaze and his colleague Riyazuddin Kazi. All are in judicial custody presently.
Sachin Vaze was arrested by the NIA on March 13. He was accused of allegedly devising the Antilia bomb scare plan and subsequently killing Mansukh Hiran after the businessman refused to take the blame for parking the explosive-laden Scorpio.
The NIA had also recorded the statement of Sachin Vaze’s driver. The statement was recorded before a metropolitan magistrate.
The case had also indicated a link with Anil Deshmukh, who was the Home Minister of Maharashtra and had to resign after a CBI probe was ordered against him. The CBI has questioned Deshmukh’s two personal assistants Sanjeev Palande and Kundan to investigate whether the former home minister had asked Sachin Vaze to collect Rs 100 crore every month from hotels, bars and restaurants in the city.
