Key Questions Answered
The Bombay High Court questioned how Sachin Vaze, an Assistant Police Inspector with a monthly salary of around Rs 90,000, could afford luxury vehicles like Mercedes and BMW cars and maintain a nearly 100-day stay at Mumbai's Oberoi Hotel.
Sachin Vaze came into focus following the 2021 discovery of an explosives-laden SUV parked outside industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence, Antilia, in Mumbai, and he was also accused in connection with the murder of businessman Mansukh Hiren.
The National Investigation Agency approached the Bombay High Court to challenge the bail granted to Sachin Vaze by a sessions court, arguing against his release while citing his luxury lifestyle and alleged lack of cooperation during the probe.
