Bombay High Court cancels bail for Sachin Waze in Antilia case
The Bombay High Court has set aside the bail previously granted to former Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze in connection with the 2021 Antilia explosives case. The ruling follows a criminal appeal by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which had challenged a September 2026 order from a special NIA court that had granted Waze bail.
The case involves an explosives-laden Mahindra Scorpio vehicle found parked near Antilia, the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani, on February 25, 2021. The investigation also links the incident to the death of businessman Mansukh Hiren, who was found dead in Mumbra Creek in March 2021. The NIA alleges the vehicle was parked as part of a conspiracy involving extortion.
Waze, who has been in custody since March 13, 2021, faces charges including criminal conspiracy, murder, and destruction of evidence under the Indian Penal Code, the Explosive Substances Act, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
