Antilia bomb scare: Charges framed; ex-cops Waze, Sharma & eight others to face trial for murder
A special NIA court has framed charges against former Mumbai Police officers Sachin Waze and Pradeep Sharma along with eight others in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare case. They will face trial under IPC sections for murder, extortion, destruction of evidence, criminal conspiracy, UAPA, and the Explosive Substances Act. The case involved an explosives-laden SUV found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence Antilia and the subsequent murder of businessman Mansukh Hiren. This development is significant for exams as it tests knowledge of UAPA provisions, NIA's jurisdiction, and high-profile criminal proceedings involving police officials.
