The ATS had also recorded the statement of a businessman, who is into coal trading, as a witness in the case, he said. The businessman was handed over to NIA on Tuesday, the ATS official said. Further course of action will be decided by the central probe agency, he said.
The ATS during its investigation had found that suspended Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze, who is currently in NIA's custody in connection with its probe into the bomb scare near Ambani's residence and Hiran's murder, used five SIM cards procured from Gujarat through Naresh Gor and Vinayak Shinde.
The SIM cards were procured in the name of a company in Gujarat, according to the ATS. Shinde is a convict in the 2006 Lakhan Bhaiyya fake encounter case.
