Antilia bomb scare: Bombay High Court refuses bail to Pradeep Sharma; expresses anguish over NIA investigation

Sharma along with other accused including dismissed Mumbai cop Sachin Waze are accused of conspiring to place an explosive laden SUV near the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani.

They also stand accused in the murder of businessman Mansukh Hiren in February 2021.

After filing a detailed investigation report, the Court deduced, that NIA was trying to link Sharma with the Scorpio vehicle (laden with gelatin sticks) but he had not been chargesheeted.

“Prima facie, we feel that this feeble attempt was made to connect the appellant with Sachin Waze only when we questioned the NIA, as to with whom Sachin Waze had conspired with, in planting of gelatin sticks in the Scorpio vehicle,” the Court said.

The Court said tha several questions remained unanswered by NIA with respect to the case of the Scorpio vehicle laden with gelatin sticks. 

“We hope and trust, that NIA, in right earnest, will investigate this aspect since further investigation under Section 173(8) is pending,” the Court further said.
