A Mahindra Scorpio SUV carrying gelatin sticks was found at Carmichael Road, near the Antilia building, on February 25 and a threat letter was also recovered from the SUV. Vaze, who was posted then with the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Mumbai Crime Branch, was the first investigation officer in the case.
The initial probe revealed that the vehicle was in the possession of Thane-based auto parts dealer Mansukh Hiran. Hiran had reported about its theft a few days before it was found near Ambani’s residence and had also lodged a police complaint in this regard.
Later, Hiran’s body was found in a creek at Mumbra near Thane on March 5. Hiran’s wife had later alleged that Vaze had borrowed the same vehicle for four months till he returned it on February 5 and also accused Vaze of having a role in her husband’s death.
