Mumbai: Dismissed cop Sachin Waze moved a special NIA court to expunge remarks linking him to a co-accused in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder cases. Invoking the iconic Bob Dylan lyrics “How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?”, Waze’s 17-page application said he is a “decorated officer” who has suffered “humiliation and considerable trauma” during his five-year legal battle.The application is related to an observation made by the court this month while rejecting the bail plea of co-accused Santosh Shelar. The court had noted that “huge evidence” existed to show that Waze and former encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma had contacted Shelar using various apps, including Apple’s FaceTime. Waze said this was a “technological impossibility” since he used an Android-based phone that does not support FaceTime. TNN
