The NIA said that subsequently, it found that there were issues with his case diary and seizures, and that the memos were not prepared properly. Standing in the witness box, the investigating officer also told the court that when asked to clarify certain aspects, Waze did not give proper answers. He added that Waze, at one point, started “talking about something else”. The NIA said Waze was finally arrested at 11.50pm.
Replying to Pasbola’s submission that Waze was neither given his right to a legal counsel nor his family was informed of his arrest, Gonsalves said the claims were incorrect. In fact, Waze did not ask for legal counsel, Gonsalves said. “He’s a police officer and knows the provisions of the law.especially when he facing such grave charges. How can we tell him that he has a right to a legal counsel? Had he given the numbers of his family members, we would have contacted them,” he added.
