Mukesh Ambani bomb scare: Maharashtra ATS records statements of Mansukh Hiren’s brother, son

Maharashtra ATS recorded the statements of Mansukh Hiren’s brother and son, a month after an SUV in his possession was found laden with explosives and parked outside Mukesh Ambani’s residence. Mansuk Hiren was found dead in Thane on March 5.

The Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) recorded the statements of Mansukh Hiren’s brother Vinod and son Meet on Friday in the investigation of his mysterious death. The body of the deceased auto-parts dealer was found in a creek in Thane on March 5, about a week after an SUV that belonged to him was used to plant explosives and a threat letter near industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s residence in Mumbai. The brother and son arrived at the ATS office around noon and spent more than eight hours with senior officials, providing all the information they had about Mansukh Hiren’s communications and movement on March 4. Meet had been called by the ATS on Wednesday also, along with his mother Vimla. In her statement, she alleged that the then investigating officer in the case, Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze, from the Mumbai crime branch was involved in her husband’s murder. According to her, the SUV in question had been used by Vaze between November 2020 and February 5, 2021. Vaze, who has since been transferred to the Special Branch, has denied these claims.
