Summary:
Pune, Nov 30 (PTI) Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Tuesday alleged that former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh and dismissed cop Sachin Waze had planned the bomb threat near industrialist Mukesh Ambani"s residence "Antilia" in the state capital.
The duo had also planned the "fake" encounter of a goon by showing him as a Pakistani national with the help of a bogus passport (after the bomb scare incident), Malik claimed while talking to reporters here.
The NCP leader also claimed that Singh and Waze had "misled" the state home ministry in connection with the the Antilia bomb scare case.
Asked about NCP leader Anil Deshmukh"s resignation as the state home minister earlier this year, Malik termed it as "politically motivated".
An explosives-laden SUV was found near Ambani"s residence in south Mumbai in February this year.
A few days later, businessman Mansukh Hiran, who was in possession of the SUV, was found dead in a creek at Mumbra in neighbouring Thane district.
