Fellow officers from the CID arrested me in a false case. That arrest inconclusive to date. Sensing history is going to repeat. My fellow officers are on to falsely trap me. There's a slight difference in the scenario. Then probably I had 17 years of hope, patience, life, and service too. Now I will have neither 17 years of further life nor service nor patience to live. I think the time to say goodbye to the world is coming closer," the status read.</p> <p>On Friday, Vaze was moved out from the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch to the Special Branch amid allegations linked to his role in the bomb scare and the alleged murder of Thane resident Mansukh Hiren.</p> <p>BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis alleged that Vaze knew Hiren and they had spoken over the phone earlier last year. After Hiren’s death came to light, Fadnavis read out a statement in the Maharashtra Assembly of the deceased’s wife Vimla in which she alleged that Vaze was linked to her husband’s death.</p> <p>On February 25, the Scorpio was found near Ambani's residence Antilia with explosives and a threat letter inside. While police have also tracing links of this case to Indian Mujaheedin, the case got murkier after Hiren's death</p> <p><iframe class="vidfyVideo" style="border: 0px;" src="https://ift.tt/3bMaJud" width="631" height="381" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
