Mumbai: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials on Wednesday took suspended Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze to the spot where the gelatin sticks-laden SUV was placed on the night of February 24-25 on Carmichael Road, to recreate the scene of the crime.
They also visited Babulnath, Mahim Creek, Vaze s residence and the places where the vehicle registration numbers plates were obtained in Thane and used in the crime, as part of the investigation.
The Central agency had, on Tuesday, seized a Mercedes car being used by Vaze from a parking lot near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). From this car, the agency recovered Rs 5 lakh in cash, a note-counting machine, two vehicle registration number plates, some partially burnt clothes and a bottle of kerosene.

Mumbai, March 17
The NIA has seized a Mercedes car that was used by arrested police officer Sachin Vaze and recovered Rs 5 lakh from the vehicle after searching his office from where incriminating documents were recovered, an official has said.
Vaze is at the focus of a probe by the National Investigating Agency (NIA) into a case related to the recovery of an SUV with explosives near industrialist Mukesh Ambani s house in south Mumbai on February 25.
Under flak for mishandling of the bomb scare outside industrialist Mukesh Ambanis house in Mumbai, Maharashtra Government on Wednesday transferred city Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh to the low-key Home Guard. Senior IPS officer Hemant Nagrale, holding additional charge of the state Director General of Police (DGP) post, will be the new Mumbai Police Commissioner, Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said. Singh s transfer came even as the case of recovery of gelatin sticks near Ambani s residence turned murkier with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) claiming there were other players who had been allegedly instructing arrested policeman Sachin Waze.
NIA sources said the case had virtually been cracked and soon the entire conspiracy behind would be unravelled.
