The Bombay High Court on
Friday granted bail to suspended Assistant Police Inspector Riyazuddin Kazi who
is currently lodged in jail in connection with the Antilia bomb scare case
and businessman Mansukh Hiran's death case in 2021.
Sacked policeman Riyazuddin filed a petition for bail in the
Bombay High Court, on which the court has given its decision today, granting
him bail for rupees 25,000. Kazi has to surrender his passport as part of the
bail condition.
Riyazuddin
Kazi was arrested for his alleged role in the discovery of explosives in a
vehicle near the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani and the
destruction of evidence in connivance with Sachin Waze in the murder of Mansukh
Hiren.
Kazi, like other accused policemen in the case, was dismissed from
service after the NIA arrested him. However, like the other accused, he is not
charged under the stringent UAPA, but under Section 120b (Conspiracy) 201
(Causing disappearance of evidence).
Further details are awaited.
