Vaze seeks court’s nod to turn approver against Anil Deshmukh

Mumbai: Sachin Vaze, a dismissed police officer and an accused in an alleged corruption case involving former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Wednesday filed an application in the Special CBI court seeking its nod to turn an approver against Deshmukh and other accused in the case.
CBI has given its nod to his application with certain conditions.
The CBI Court will hear the matter on May 30. Both Deshmukh and Vaze are in judicial custody in separate cases by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), respectively.
NIA arrested Vaze in March in connection with the investigation into the recovery of explosives from a car parked near Mukesh Ambani’s house in Mumbai. Vaze is the prime accused of placing an explosives-laden vehicle near Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s house Antilia in Mumbai on February 25.
Meanwhile, Deshmukh was arrested on November 1 in connection with extortion and money laundering allegations levelled against him by the former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.
