Ex-Mumbai Police cop Pradeep Sharma on NIA radar in Ambani bomb scare case

Ex-Mumbai cop, Pradeep Sharma, who is also an Agra native is on the radar of the National Investigative Agency (NIA) for his alleged involvement in the Ambani bomb scare case.

After the arrest of Mumbai cops Sachin Vaze and Vinayak Shinde in the Ambani car bomb scare case, the National Investigative Agency's (NIA) radar has shifted to Mumbai Police's 'encounter specialist', retired inspector and Agra native, Pradeep Sharma. Pradeep Sharma had joined Mumbai Police as sub-inspector in 1983 and has been involved in over 300 encounters related to the Mumbai underworld, out of which, 113 shootouts are in his name. In 2008, he was expelled from the force for reportedly having connections with crime lord Dawood Ibrahim and his gang. However, he was reinstated a year later.
