A special court rejected the bail plea of dismissed Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze in the money-laundering case connected to former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh.

Special PMLA judge RN Rokade dismissed Waze's bail application, saying "prima facie" he seemed to be directly involved in the case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED), represented by advocates Sunil Gonsalves and Sriram Shirsat, had opposed Waze's bail application, stating that he had knowingly played a vital role in the offence of money laundering.
