The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the Antilia bomb scare case, summoned a few bar owners from the city, and they were grilled for hours at their Peddar Road office. They were summoned after their numbers reflected in the call data records (CDRs) of API Sachin Waze, who is in under their custody. An NIA officer confirmed to mid-day and said, “Yes, we had summoned a few bar owners for questioning few days ago. Whatever is required for investigation in this case, we are doing.”

The fiasco over the Antilia bomb scare case led to the arrest of Waze. Additionally, the then Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh was transferred from his post. A day after getting shunted out of the coveted post, the serving IPS officer Singh wrote an eight-page letter to the chief minister and accused home minister Anil Deshmukh of being involved in the malpractices.
