Sachin Waze was arrested on March 13.

Sachin Hindurao Waze, the assistant police inspector who is an accused in the Mansukh Hiren death case and Antilia bomb scare case, was dismissed from service by Mumbai Police on Tuesday (May 11).

A 1990-batch officer of the Maharashtra cadre, Waze, also known as an "encounter cop", was earlier suspended after his arrest by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the SUV-cum-murder case on March 13.

An explosives-laden Scorpio was found near Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani's residence Antilia in Mumbai on February 25.

Mansukh Hiran, who had claimed that the vehicle had been stolen from his possession a week earlier, was found dead in a creek in Thane on March 5.

"API Sachin Hindurao Waze has been dismissed from police service. Order has been issued today under Provision of 311(2)(B) Constitution of India by Commissioner of Police, Greater Mumbai," a top official said.

Waze was reinstated in the Mumbai police in June 2020 after being suspended for 16 years in a case related to alleged custodial death of a bomb blast accused.

Post-reinstatement, he was heading the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the crime branch and handling high profile cases, including the fake TRP case, fake social media followers case, the DC car finance scam and the Ambani security scare case.
