Mumbai, Mar 5: In a shocking incident, the Thane-based businessman whose Scorpio was found parked near the Mumbai house of Reliance Industries Ltd Chairman Mukesh Ambani was found dead on Friday.
The body of Mansukh Hiren was found near Mumbra in Thane district, reports said.
The SUV was lying abandoned near a tree located near Antilia, Ambani's house, and is suspected to have been parked at midnight on February 24-25. Twenty-odd gelatine sticks and a threatening letter were sized from the car.
Initiating a discussion on the Law and Order situation in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis demanded that the Uddhav Thackeray government hand over the probe to the NIA. “There are several strange coincidences in the case,” Fadnavis said.
He also pointed out that Hiren seems to know Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze, the Investigating Officer in the case. “The local police station does not reach there, the Crime Branch does not reach there, but Sachin Vaze reaches....he seizes the car, threat letter,” he said.
He questioned that when the police had said that an Assistant Commissioner of Police will probe the incident, why was it given to Vaze?
He had also demanded that Hiren be provided security but reports came in minutes later that Hiren had been found dead.
Fadnavis has asked Home Minister Anil Deshmukh to reply on the issue.
