The arrest of Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Waze in the security cordon outside Mukesh Ambani’s residence in Mumbai sparked a war of words between the Shiv Sena and Congress, allies of the Grand Alliance and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday.
Congress leaders Nana Patole and Balasaheb Thorat, along with Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut, targeted the BJP for “defaming” Maharashtra and lowering the morale of the Mumbai Police. In return, Leader of the Opposition Devendra Fadnavis gave a slogan to the Shiv Sena for allegedly defending Mr Vez. He said the arrest was just the tip of the iceberg and more skeletons would fall from the cell.
“This is not a small plot, but a major one … It involves many people and all their names and purposes will now come out in the open. The way the details of this disgusting case are coming out, it is a big conspiracy. Is a sign of.
‘Question on inquiry’
He said that Mr. Waze, who led the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU), had led the investigation into the bomb blast outside Mr. Ambani’s house, which led to the investigation.
Mr Fadnavis questioned the reinstatement of Mr Waze in the police force last year, despite the Bombay High Court not clearing his name in the 2003 custody death of Khwaja Younus.
He said, ‘When I was the Chief Minister and kept the Ministry of Home Affairs [the then ally of the BJP] I was pressed to rejoin Mr. Waze. But I referred the case to the Advocate General of the state, who had consulted against its reinstatement. However, after Shiv Sena came to power, Mr Vej was reinstated by the government citing lack of manpower due to COVID-19, ”he said, expressing surprise at Mr Vaze being given charge of CIU. .
Meanwhile, Mr Raut on Saturday questioned the ‘pressure’ put on the Mumbai Police by central agencies, supporting Mr Vaze, who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency. “I believe that Sachin Waze is a very honest and capable officer. While he has been arrested in the case of gelatin sticks found in an SUV outside Mr. Ambani’s house and a suspicious death [that of Mansukh Hiren] It has also happened, Mumbai Police is responsible for investigating this case. No central team was needed, ”the Shiv Sena MP said.
In the BJP, in a small veil, Mr Patole, the state Congress chief, and Mr Raut instigated the “repeated interference” of central bodies in matters, remarking that it creates “instability”. Mr Thorat said that the intervention of central agencies in local affairs was to topple the Mumbai Police, which was second only to Scotland Yard in its capacities.
