Lawyers Clash over Alleged Judicial Interference in Antilia Explosive Probe

The Antilia case took a new turn when retired ACP Bhimraj Ghadhge’s legal team filed a motion demanding that former police commissioner Parmveer Singh be added as a co‑accused. Senior counsel Nilesh Ojha claimed that Singh’s filing of a false affidavit amounted to unlawful interference with the judicial process. He cited Supreme Court and Bombay High Court precedents that prohibit any accused from submitting affidavits without a court directive. The NIA bench listened for nearly an hour, weighing arguments about procedural integrity and the need to preserve the sanctity of ongoing investigations.
