The NIA on Monday told the court Shelar and Jadhav had revealed during interrogation that Hiran was allegedly killed at the behest of former police officers Sachin Waze and Sharma. An explosives-laden SUV was found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's south Mumbai residence on February 25.


Thane-based businessman Mansukh Hiran, who claimed this vehicle was stolen from his possession, was found dead in a creek in Thane on March 5. As per the agency, two accused, Satish alias Tanni bhai and Manish Soni, who were arrested last week along with Sharma, had killed Hiran in a red Tavera car where Shelar and Jadhav were also present, and the body was later dumped in a creek.

On Monday, the court also permitted Sharma to meet his lawyer every day for 20 minutes. So far, NIA has arrested ten persons in the case, including Waze and Sharma.
