The Bombay High Court has cancelled the bail granted to former Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze, who is the main accused in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case. The court allowed an appeal filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against the bail order granted by a special NIA court on September 29, 2026. Waze, who has been in custody since March 13, 2021, will continue to remain in Thane Central Prison. The NIA had opposed Waze's bail, arguing that he could tamper with witnesses and destroy evidence. The case involves charges under the Indian Penal Code, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case dates back to February 25, 2021, when a Mahindra Scorpio SUV containing 20 gelatin sticks and a threatening letter was found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence in Mumbai. Mansukh Hiran, who had possession of the vehicle before it was allegedly stolen, was found dead in a creek in Thane on March 5, 2021.
