Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on  Monday claimed he had warned some party leaders that Sachin Waze, the suspended Mumbai police officer who is currently in the NIA's custody, could create problems for the Maharashtra government.

Raut also said the Sachin Waze episode taught some lessons to the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra.

The Sena, NCP and Congress share power in the state.

The National Investigation Agency earlier this month arrested Waze over his alleged role in planting an explosive-laden SUV near industrialist Mukesh Ambanis
residence in south Mumbai on February 25.

"When there was plan to reinstate Sachin Waze into the Maharashtra police force, I had informed some leaders that he could create problems for us. His behaviour and style of working could lead to some troubles for the government," Raut told a TV channel.

The Rajya Sabha member further said he cannot reveal names of those leaders, but "they are well aware of my conversation with them".

Raut said he has been a journalist for some decades and hence, knows about Waze.
