A special NIA court here on Saturday remanded suspended police officer Sunil Mane in judicial custody till May 13 in the case related to a bomb
scare near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's house.
Mane was arrested by the National Investigation Agency in April in connection with its probe into an explosives-laden SUV found near Ambani's house in south Mumbai and the death of Thane resident Mansukh Hiran.
The SUV had been allegedly stolen from Hiran's possession.
As Mane was produced before the court after his NIA custody got over, his lawyer Aditya Gore said that he being a police officer, special care should be taken to keep him safe in jail.
