A special court in Mumbai on Friday allowed the Mumbai police to take custody of dismissed police officer Sachin Waze for interrogation in connection with an extortion case registered against him at suburban Goregaon.
Former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh is also an accused in the case. Waze, 49, is currently lodged in Navi Mumbai’s Taloja jail following his arrest in the the Antilia bomb scare-Mansukh Hiran murder case in March. The Mumbai Crime branch, probing the extortion case registered at Goregaon police station, had sought his custody from the special court, saying it was necessary for further probe into the offence.

Considering the fact that Waze recently underwent a bypass surgery, the court had called for a report about his health condition from the prison authorities. Special judge A T Wankhede, after finding that he was fit to travel for a few days, directed jail authorities to hand over his custody to the Mumbai police on November 1.
