After more than half a decade of heavy iron gates and isolation, dismissed police officer Sachin Waze has been granted bail in the infamous 2021 Antilia explosives scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case. It is a stunning reversal in a saga that shattered the veneer of the city’s elite law enforcement and laid bare allegations of a vast, labyrinthine conspiracy.
The special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court delivered a stinging rebuke to prosecutors, questioning the very foundation of the terror charges. In a dramatic courtroom observation, the judge pointedly asked what “muhurat”
what auspicious hour the central agency was waiting for to record a single statement from the Ambani family, noting that the tycoon’s daily empire never paused for even a minute.
The court ruled that the gelatin sticks left in the abandoned SUV lacked detonators, falling short of a true act of terrorism under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Though the state fights to block his exit with an immediate appeal to the High Court, the man once feared as an untouchable encounter cop is on the verge of walking free, albeit on a razor-thin leash.
Banished from Mumbai and surrounding districts, and forbidden from contacting a massive web of witnesses, Waze steps into the sunlight under heavy surveillance. Yet, his release does more than pause his incarceration; it breathes volatile new life into whispers of a deeper plot, dark political secrets, and a case that continues to hold the entire nation in suspense.
