'Antilia' bomb scare case: HC grants bail to dismissed policeman Riyazuddin Kazi

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday granted bail to dismissed policeman Riyazuddin Kazi, who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for his alleged role in the Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case.

Kazi, who had closely worked with accused policeman Sachin Waze, was posted with the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Mumbai Crime Branch when a gelatin



sticks-laden Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) was found parked near 'Antilia', industrialist Mukesh Ambani's official residence in south Mumbai.

In his bail plea filed through advocate Hasnain Kazi, the former policeman said he was not charged under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the charges against him were bailable.
