Trouble appears to be growing for ‘Lady Singham’, Police Sub-Inspector Anjali Wani of the D N Nagar police station, as a criminal writ petitioner has now recorded statements at two different police stations, presenting a series of allegations against her. Following a report published by mid-day on October 25, the petitioner was summoned by both the Virar and D N Nagar police stations, where his statements were taken regarding an alleged threat call from Lady Singham and accusations of her high-handed behaviour.

The petitioner is a relative of a POCSO accused who has allegedly been framed and arrested in Rae Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, by Wani and two other policemen. After the arrest, the police team transported him to the D N Nagar police station. However, he was presented before a competent court only after over 41 hours, which amounts to illegal detention. Besides filing a writ petition in the Bombay High Court, the petitioner has also submitted multiple Right to Information (RTI) applications aimed at exposing Wani’s alleged false claims.
