Mumbai: Dismissed police officer Sachin Waze, the mastermind behind the planting of explosives in a vehicle near Mukesh Ambani’s residence on February 25, had planned to extort money from the industrialist, according to the charge sheet submitted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
“The intent was clearly to terrorize wealthy and prosperous individuals… extort money by putting… fear of dire consequences,” says the charge sheet, which invokes the anti-terror law UAPA as well as stringent sections of the IPC. The plot allegedly involved five serving and retired cops including erstwhile encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma. They had roped in five others, some of whom had long criminal records, says the NIA.
Waze left a note in the vehicle to threaten the Ambanis, says the charge sheet. To mislead investigators, a message was posted on the Telegram app purportedly showing terror outfit Jaish-ul-Hind taking responsibility for planting the explosives, it adds. Waze also plotted the murder of the vehicle owner, Mansukh Hiran, the NIA says.
“The post on Telegram… appears to be a deliberate attempt to add credibility to the above-said act of terror and the murder of Hiran was a direct outcome of the said act of terror,” the charge-sheet says. The NIA says that a demand for a payoff from the Ambani family in the threat posted on Telegram clearly depicts Waze’s motive to reap monetary gains. Waze himself drove the explosive-laden vehicle and parked it near Ambani’s bungalow, it adds. The driver of the police vehicle that accompanied him was unaware about the conspiracy and was told it was a secret operation.
