MUMBAI, Nov. 5 -- More than five years after an explosives-laden Scorpio was found parked outside industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence, the trial in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare case entered the evidence stage on Wednesday, with the special NIA court recording the deposition of its first prosecution witness, police officer Asif Sande. His cross-examination by advocate RB Mokashi, representing dismissed police officer Sachin Waze, brought out gaps in the first investigating officer's recollection of how the FIR was registered, the source of the initial information and the documentation of crucial forensic evidence. Attached to the Gamdevi police station, which initially investigated the case, Sande was questioned about the circumstances under which the complaint was received and registered. He initially agreed with the defence that police sub-inspector Amit Kadam had orally conveyed the contents of the complaint to him. However, when shown the FIR, which described the mode of receipt of information as "written", Sande said he could not remember whether he had received the complaint orally or in writing. Sande also could not recall whether the written complaint bore the signature of senior police inspector Rampiyare Rajbhar or whether it had been marked to him. Sande acknowledged that he was not the officer in charge of the Gamdevi police station when the FIR was registered, although his signature appeared on it in that capacity. Sande also said that while recording the complaint, he learnt that Kadam had received information about the offence from someone else. He, however, later volunteered that Kadam had also visited the spot. Questioned on fingerprint documentation, Sande acknowledged that the fingerprint panchnama bore his name but lacked his signature. He further stated that he could not recall learning about three fingerprints found on the SUV or encountering the fingerprint panchnama report during his investigation....
