History

Historical Context

The 12-bomb March 1993 attacks on Bombay, which killed 257 people, spurred India to strengthen anti-terror legislation, culminating in the 2009 creation of the National Investigation Agency. Decades later, the agency’s probe of the 2021 Antilia bomb scare brought officer Sachin Waze before the Bombay High Court, whose bail-stay order reflects the judiciary’s heightened scrutiny of NIA-led investigations.
