Mumbai Police Assistant Inspector Sachin Vaze, arrested in connection to the explosive-laden car found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence 'Antilia', was suspended from service on Monday. Confirming the development Mumbai police spokesperson DCP S Chaitanya said, "API Sachin Vaze has been placed under suspension, by an order of Additional CP Special Branch".
Vaze has been suspended barely eight months after he was returned to the police service after his suspension of almost 16 years. He was suspended and subsequently arrested in 2004, in the alleged custodial death of 27-year-old Khwaja Younus. He was reinstated in June 2020 after the state government stated that they required all available officers on board amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
