Citing his health condition, dismissed Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze, the prime accused in the Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case, on Tuesday urged the special National Investigation Agency court to direct jail authorities to allow him to consume protein-rich diet and non-vegetarian food, saying he has a history of various ailments.
Waze, currently in judicial custody, is lodged at Taloja Jail in neighbouring Navi Mumbai.
He had undergone heart surgery in September this year.
Also, as per his application, he has a history of cardiac, gastro-intestinal and other ailments. In his plea, Waze sought the court's direction to the jail authorities for allowing him to eat a protein-rich diet and non-vegetarian food.
He also requested that he be referred to a doctor at a private hospital, where he had undergone bypass surgery, for a follow-up.
The dismissed police officer has also sought the court's nod for seeking dental and ophthalmic treatment at hospitals.
His other demands include permission to use his kit for shaving his beard and trimming his moustache. -- PTI
