As it delved deep into the Ambani bomb scare case and the murder of Thane businessman Mansukh Hiran, the NIA uncovered that sacked cop Sachin Waze had used a single mother to launder extortion money. The woman, now a star witness in the case, has Rs 1.8 crore in her bank account, the source of which was not known to her, says the charge sheet filed by the National Investigation Agency.

The charge sheet filed by NIA has revealed that dismissed cop Sachin Waze used different people to plot the Mansukh Hiran murder and Antilia bomb scare cases. The agency found that Waze used hoteliers to extort money, a woman escort to launder it, a businessman to book a hotel and finally an ex-cop to orchestrate a murder. He used his own officers in the entire controversy, later brought in his mentor Pradeep Sharma to eliminate Hiran as he feared the Thane businessman would spill the beans.
