Waze and his accomplices destroyed seven or eight DVRs (CCTV footage recordings) to eliminate evidence against them, the NIA said. NIA also found that a suite was booked for 100 days at a plush hotel in south Mumbai by paying Rs 12 lakh and using a fake Aadhar card with a false name but Waze's photo as ID proof, and this has to be probed, the lawyer said. Waze's voice samples and some video clips showing him have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory, he said. The police department had issued Waze another 30 bullets of which only five were recovered, the ASG said. The probe agency recovered 62 bullets from his house for which he could not account, and it needed to probe why they were kept there, Singh said. I went to the NIA office on my own and was arrested,' he said.Īdditional Solicitor General Anil Singh, the NIA lawyer, told the court that Waze's crime being 'a terrorist act' and as a person (Hiran) was also killed and explosives were planted, further 15-day custody was needed. But there was suddenly change in some plan somewhere. 'I was investigating officer of the case for one and a half days, and did whatever I could in that capacity. 'I have been made a scapegoat and have nothing to do with the case,' Waze told judge P R Sitre during the hearing.

The NIA, which has invoked the stringent provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against Waze, sought his custody for another 15 days. He was produced before the court on Thursday after his earlier remand expired.ĪLSO READ | NIA invokes UAPA against Sachin Waze in Antilia bomb scare case

Waze (49), an assistant police inspector with the Mumbai crime branch, was arrested on March 13 by the National Investigation Agency. Waze pleaded that he had been made a 'scapegoat'. The National Investigation Agency also told the court it wanted to confront Waze with the other accused in the Mansukh Hiran murder, a related case, and also probe 62 unaccounted for bullets found at Waze's house.
