Suspended Mumbai Police officer Sachin Vaze killed Mansukh Hiren as he thought the latter was a weak link in Mukesh Ambani bomb scare case.

Suspended Mumbai Police cop Sachin Vaze killed Mansukh Hiren as he thought the latter was a weak link in the Ambani bomb scare case, sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said on Thursday. Mansukh Hiren, whose Scorpio car laden with gelatin sticks and a threat letter was detected outside industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s Mumbai residence in February, was found dead in Thane’s Mumbra creek last month. Sachin Vaze and some others have been arrested in connection with the case. Vaze feared the case was going out of his hand and that Hiren will spill the beans, NIA sources said on Thursday. Vaze has been arrested on charges of planning the planting of the vehicle near Ambani’s residence, Antilia.
