Court Rejects Sachin Waze Plea in 2003 Custodial Death Case
A court has denied a request made by Sachin Waze, a former police officer, in a case from 2003 involving the death of a man named Khwaja Yunus while in police custody.
Waze wanted the state CID to respond to his request for discharge in the case.
He claims there's no evidence linking him to Yunus's death, which allegedly happened during questioning related to the 2002 Ghatkopar blast.
The court decided that a public prosecutor doesn't need to be guided on every detail, hence rejecting Waze's application.
