Suspended Mumbai inspector Sachin Waze has been named as the prime accused by Mumbai ATS in the murder case of businessman Mansukh Hiren whose car was found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s residence, Antilla. Since Waze’s name has been linked to the explosive-laden SUV car case, there have been several shocking revelations in the probe.
Sachin Waze who was also investigating Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case is believed to be using a fake Aadhaar card using the name Sushant and that he was involved in betting and had links with a notorious company - ‘Kings’. The Mumbai cop had stayed in Trident hotel in Mumbai using a fake Aadhaar card and documents. The NIA has got the incident recast in the hotel as well. When the National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigated the luxury lifestyle of this most maligned police officer of Mumbai Police, Waze, it appeared in the register of various hotels in South Mumbai, not Sachin Vazh but Sushant Sadashiv Khamkar.
Further, it was discovered that Waze not only used to spend weeks for his IPS bosses in Mumbai’s beer bars, pubs and restaurants but he also visited betting parlour run from the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries. The company had a relationship with the 'Kings'. He used to operate it from the secret rooms booked in these hotels. Waze is suspected to have built a secret base in about half a dozen hotels in South Mumbai. Out of these, the NIA has found evidence of the movement and stay of the seas in luxury hotels and Trident hotels.
Taking a dig at the BJP leader Ram Kadam, he said, "The illegal work from various gangs betting on cricket matches to collecting money from bars and restaurants was conducted by Sachin as the owner of organized criminal gangs".
On Tuesday, Maharashtra ATS named Waze as the key conspirators in the Mansukh murder case, while his colleagues suspended constables Vinayak Shinde and Bookie Naresh Gaur as the leading suspects in the case.
Investigation of all these suspects by the NIA is going on.
From the CCTV footage of Waze's land cruiser vehicle, it has been found that Shinde has visited these hotels in South Mumbai many times to meet Waze. The investigating officers presume that Waze had planned to place the car with explosives gelatin sticks outside Mukesh Ambani’s house to become a supercop. Waze with the help of Shinde had carried out buying gelatin sticks, arranging gadgets, SIM cards, vehicles, mobilization of money and joining the team. The NIA is now looking for Vaze’s associates, who have links to the gelatin and Mansukh scandal, and who were involved in Vaze's plan.

Shinde after being released on parole has given contacts to Waze of 32 beer bars in Mumbai for carrying out all these illegal activities. Out of the money collected from these bars, he used to give a huge amount of commission to Shinde.
The forensic team is testing all the evidence seized in the case while ATS Chief Jayjit Singh claimed to have arrested some people in the Mansukh Murder case soon will come with something.
Waze was arrested in connection with the investigation into the recovery of explosives from a car parked near Mukesh Ambani's house in Mumbai on February 25.
