Mumbai Police assistant inspector Sachin Vaze, who has been arrested by NIA in the Ambani bomb scare case, is not new to controversies. He was earlier arrested in 2004 in the Khwaja Yunus encounter case, in which trial is still on. His arrest by NIA comes 10 months after he resumed duty with Mumbai Police. This time, Sachin Vaze finds himself in a political turmoil as well as he was known to be close to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, which makes him a target for the opposition parties. On Tuesday, Thackeray downplayed Vaze’s involvement in the case saying, Sachin Vaze is not Osama Bin Laden. It is not right to target a person, hang him and then investigate.
