MUMBAI: A special NIA court on Friday granted permission to the CBI to meet dismissed cop Sachin Waze in jail and record his statement.
The CBI moved the plea on Thursday. In April the court had allowed the CBI’s plea to question Waze. CBI is probing allegations levelled by former police commissioner Param Bir Singh against former state home minister Anil Deshmukh.
Waze was arrested on March 13 in connection with the probe into the recovery of explosives from an SUV found parked near businessman Mukesh Ambani’s south Mumbai residence on February 25. The murder of Hiran is alleged to be connected to this case. Waze is lodged in Taloja prison.
