The NIA recreated the crime scene on Saturday night, taking  suspended Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze to the spot near Ambani’s residence where the car was originally found.

Reacting to the case proceedings, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray called for the resignation of Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Anil Deshmukh.

“Anil Deshmukh should resign immediately. The main issue is that of an explosive-laden vehicle being found near the residence of an industrialist. I request the Central Government to intervene. The State government cannot investigate this matter”, ANI quoted Thackeray as saying on Sunday.
