Dismissed police officer Sachin Waze, accused in the extortion racket case involving former state home minister Anil Deshmukh, changed his statement before the Chandiwal Commission on Wednesday. Earlier, the dismissed assistant police inspector (API) had claimed that neither Deshmukh nor his close associates ever asked him to collect money, but now he has alleged their direct involvement. 

Submitting an additional affidavit, Waze also claimed that Deshmukh subjected him to severe mental torture and harassment, and that he continued doing so even after his resignation. Waze said he suffers from Stockholm syndrome, and that is the reason he initially gave statements in favour of the former home minister.
The Commission, however, rejected his affidavit.
