Mumbai: Special NIA Court Frames Charges Against Sachin Waze, 9 Others In Antilia Bomb Scare, Mansukh Hiran
A special NIA court in Mumbai framed charges against Sachin Waze, Pradeep Sharma, Sunil Mane, and seven others in the Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case.
The accused are charged with criminal conspiracy, murder, kidnapping, destruction of evidence under IPC, and provisions of UAPA and Arms Act.
All 10 accused pleaded not guilty and opted to face trial; witness testimonies will begin after procedural formalities.
The case stems from an SUV with explosives found near Mukesh Ambani's residence on February 25, 2021, and the murder of SUV owner Mansukh Hiran on March 5, 2021.
The court observed the accused formed a terrorist gang and were parties to a criminal conspiracy between February and March 2021.
