Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Dismissed Mumbai Assistant Police Inspector and accused in the Rs 100 crore extortion case, Sachin Waze on Friday said that he has written a letter to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and submitted all the evidence of alleged bribes taken by former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
“Whatever has happened, the proof is there. The money used to go through his (Anil Deshmukh) PA, CBI has the proof and I have also written a letter to Devendra Fadnavis. I have submitted all the evidence. In the letter that I have written, I have given the name of Jayant Patil as well,” Waze told media.
He further said, “I am ready for that (NARCO test).”
Sachin Waze is also accused in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiren murder case.
The CBI had registered a corruption case against Deshmukh following allegations that Deshmukh as home minister had directed police officials to collect Rs 100 crore per month from bar owners. Deshmukh was later arrested in the case before securing bail.
Earlier in July, NCP-SP leader Anil Deshmukh accused Devendra Fadnavis of asking him to write four affidavits against Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, Ajit Pawar and Anil Parab.
“Three years ago Devendra Fadnavis sent a man to me and asked me to write four affidavits. I was asked to make written allegations against Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, Ajit Pawar and Anil Parab. Devendra Fadnavis sent the affidavits and asked me to sign them. I was told that if I did this, then neither ED nor CBI would come after me. “
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis denied the allegations, saying that he wouldn’t spare anyone making personal allegations against him.
Former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh had been arrested by the ED in 2021 in an alleged money laundering case and spent several months in jail.
The NIA arrested Sachin Waze in March 2021 in connection with the investigation into the recovery of explosives from a car parked near Mukesh Ambani’s house in Mumbai. Waze is the prime accused of placing an explosive-laden vehicle near Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s house, Antilia, in Mumbai on February 25, 2021.
