Mumbai: Assistant Inspector Sachin Vaze of Mumbai crime branch, who was initially appointed investigative officer in the case of explosives being found in a vehicle near Mukesh Ambani’s home, was on Wednesday transferred.
Vimla Hiren, wife of the vehicle owner Mansukh Hiren, accused Vaze of playing a role in her husband’s murder.
“Police officer Sachin Vaze will be removed from his current posting in the crime branch till the investigation is not completed. I am taking this decision in view of the rising demand from the opposition. We will take appropriate action against Vaze if he is involved in his death,” Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said in the state Assembly.
Mansukh’s body was found in the Kalwa creek on Friday.
Vimla Hiren has stated that Vaze had been using the Scorpio, found laden with gelatin sticks last month, from November 2020 till February 5, 2021. She further alleged that Vaze had told her husband to get arrested in the explosives case and assured him that he will get bail in a few days.
