Maha: Court questions UAPA terror charge as Sachin Waze gets bail in Antilia explosives & Mansukh Hiren murder cases

Mumbai, Sep 29 (UNI) A special NIA court here today granted bail to former police officer Sachin Waze, an accused in the twin cases of planting of an explosives-laden SUV at industrialist Mukesh Ambani's iconic home Antilia in south Mumbai and the businessman Mansukh Hiren murder, as prosecution failed to substantiate its claims concerning the allegation of a terrorist act under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Special Judge Chakor Shrikrishna Bhosale approved Waze's bail application on September 29, 2026, after examining the evidence and prosecution's claims regarding the allegation of a terrorist act under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
In its detailed order, the court said that at the stage of considering bail, it was necessary to examine the merits of the prosecution's case. The court specifically considered the allegation of a terrorist act under Section 15 of the UAPA and observed that there was insufficient material on record to prima facie conclude that the incident was intended to threaten the unity, integrity, security or sovereignty of India. The court also noted that no member of the Ambani family had been examined during the investigation.
