Court grants Sachin Waze bail in Antilia bomb case
A court in Mumbai has allowed Sachin Waze to leave jail on bail.
He is accused in a case involving a bomb scare near Antilia, the home of the Ambani family.
The court said there was no evidence showing that the Ambanis were actually terrorised.
The judge also said the evidence presented was not strong enough to deny bail.
The court noted that Waze had already spent at least five years in custody.
It said his alleged actions did not appear to fit the legal definition of a terrorist act under the UAPA.
Waze is a dismissed police officer.
The ruling concerns bail and does not resolve every issue in the case.
A special court in Mumbai granted dismissed police officer Sachin Waze bail.
Waze was arrested in the Antilia bomb scare case.
The court said the NIA did not show that the Ambanis were terrorised.
Judge Chakor S. Baviskar said the available material was insufficient to reject bail.
The court said Waze’s alleged conduct prima facie did not meet the UAPA definition of a terrorist act.
