Antilia bomb scare case: Sunil Mane dismissed from Mumbai Police

Former Mumbai police officer Sunil Mane, who was suspended after he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with the Antilia bomb scare probe, was dismissed from service on Tuesday.

The order terminating Mane’s service was issued by Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale, said a spokesperson of the city police.

“PI Sunil Dharma Mane, posted at Local Arms, Mumbai, has been dismissed from Police service with immediate effect. An order has been issued today under Provision of Article 311(2)(b) Constitution of India, by Commissioner of Police, Greater Mumbai,” a top official said.

Mane was earlier suspended after his arrest by the NIA on April 23 in the case of an explosives-laden SUV found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s house and the murder of businessman Mansukh Hiran.

Mane is the fourth police officer to be dismissed in the case. Before him, police officers Sachin Waze, Riyaz Kazi and Vinayak Shinde have been dismissed from police service.

Mane was earlier in charge of Unit-11 (Kandivali) of the Mumbai crime branch. He had been transferred to the local arms section in a reshuffle of the crime branch following the arrest of assistant police inspector Sachin Waze in the Ambani security scare case.

The NIA had claimed that during the probe, it came to light that Mane was part of the conspiracy to kill Hiran.
