It is each saddening and stunning how a mere assistant police inspector like Sachin Vaze introduced disrepute to Mumbai Police, however the larger query is: How he was getting used as a pawn by highly effective political forces in Maharashtra? Did prime leaders of Shiv Sena present assist and safety to Sachin Vaze?
On Wednesday, BJP chief and former CM Devendra Fadnavis alleged that in 2018, when he was in energy, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray personally referred to as him up and requested him to reinstate Sachin Vaze, who was beneath suspension on costs of extortion and custodial demise.
Fadnavis mentioned, “I still remember, Uddhav Ji had telephoned me in 2018, asking if it was possible to reinstate Waze. I had said it was not possible.” He mentioned, Sachin Vaze and Parambir Singh (who was faraway from the put up of Mumbai Police Commissioner) had been simply pawns in a bigger sport, and when he was CM, he was pressured to reinstate the controversial assistant inspector.
The former CM mentioned, “there is an important question, why was API Sachin Vaze reinstated? He was suspended in 2004. He applied for VRS in 2007. His VRS request was not accepted because there was an inquiry pending against him. When I was CM in 2018, Shiv Sena had been pressurizing us to reinstate Vaze. At that time, I reviewed his past record, I took the advice of the then Advocate General, who told me that there was an inquiry going on by the High Court. That is when I decided against reinstating him.”
Fadnavis alleged that Sachin Vaze had “business relations” with lively Shiv Sena leaders. He mentioned, “there should also be a probe into the motive behind his reinstatement (during Uddhav Thackeray’s rule). Was he brought back to extort money from people, because he was given the most important role in Mumbai Police, only next to the police commissioner?.. Therefore, there is a need to find out the political bosses, who are still holding important portfolios, at whose behest Vaze was operating.”
These are severe allegations. The picture of Mumbai Police and the function of these who are working the state authorities is now beneath query. To put it bluntly: the sparks that flew from the Antilia explosives incident and Mansukh Hiren homicide, have now reached the workplace of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, dislodging the metropolis police commissioner in its wake. That is why Fadnavis is demanding that the NIA should probe who had been the political bosses beneath whose patronage Sachin Vaze was finishing up his nefarious actions.
Fadnavis mentioned, “I am saying this again and again. Vaze and Parambir Singh are small timers. Who are their political bosses? Who will probe the leaders at whose instances these two were working? Look at the manner in which the chief minister was defending Sachin Vaze. Had there been no evidences against him, he would have become a mahatma (great soul) by now. We have to go deep into this matter and find out whose interests Vaze was protecting, because of which he was reinstated. We have to find out the links.”
Fadnavis is making these severe allegations based mostly on evidences and his arguments are logical. The discuss of the city now’s how may a small-time police officer had the gumption to intimidate India’s prime industrialist by parking a car stuffed with explosives? Vaze deliberate the plot, he executed it, after which went on to take away evidences about his involvement. What did the authorities do? It handed over the accountability of investigation into Antilia case to Vaze!
I had mentioned this two days in the past: the pointers clearly point out Vaze was performing as if no one may problem him due to the patronage from his political masters. Devendra Fadnavis mentioned the identical factor on Wednesday. He mentioned, it might be incorrect to assume that Vaze was a mere assistant inspector, he was wielding extra energy than that of the police commissioner. He was seen at briefings by the chief minister, he was seen with the state dwelling minister.
The second severe allegation that Fadnavis levelled was that Vaze was performing as cash collector for his political bosses. Fadnavis alleged: “All the high profile cases in Mumbai, like the Badshah rapper case and Hrithik Roshan fake email case were handed over to Crime Investigation Unit headed by Vaze. He was seen with top Shiv Sena leaders. He was given powers to allow dance bars in Mumbai. I think he was appointed as collection officer by his bosses.”
It is an open proven fact that Sachin Vaze was feared by cops in most of the police stations. He was the blue-eyed boy of the state authorities. The questions raised by Fadnavis will not be going to depart Uddhav Thackeray simply. If Vaze was a pawn, what was the actual motive behind intimidating Mukesh Ambani by planting a car stuffed with explosives? What was the motive of his political handlers?
To these questions, Fadnavis mentioned, it was for the NIA to probe and discover out. It appears a larger message was sought to be conveyed by planting the explosives. It might be that the motive was to carry phrases like ‘ransom’, ‘extortion’ again into the crime lexicon of Mumbai. Was Sachin Vaze solely an actor, then who was his director? Till the time, this isn’t revealed, the actual motive behind planting explosives exterior Antilia can’t be dropped at gentle.
