Ambani bomb scare case: Aurangabad man claims number plate recovered from river belongs to him

Vijay Nade of Aurangabad approached the police after he started getting calls about the number plate of his vehicle. He said his vehicle was stolen in November and the number plate recovered by NIA from Mithi river belongs to him.

An Aurangabad resident has claimed one of the number plates recovered by the NIA from the Mithi river in Mumbai belonged to his van which was stolen last year, a police official said on Tuesday. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing the cases of the recovery of an explosives-laden SUV found outside the South Mumbai residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani last month and subsequent murder of businessman Mansukh Hiran, the purported owner of that vehicle. The probe agency on Sunday took suspended Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze to the Mithi river in Mumbai and recovered two digital video recorders (DVRs), two CPUs, a laptop, two hard disks, two number plates and a printer with the help of divers.
