Param Bir Singh
Former commissioner of Mumbai Police, Param Bir Singh has been suspended in connection with at least five extortion cases registered against him. In March last year, Singh wrote a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray alleging that then home minister Anil Deshmukh had asked API Sachin Waze to extort R100 crore per month from bars and restaurants. Following this Deshmukh had to step down. All of this started after Singh faced an abrupt transfer to DG Home Guards after the Antilia bomb scare case. After the transfer, Singh went on leave citing health reasons and did not show up for nearly six months. The extortion cases were registered against him during these six months. He also did not respond to court orders and subsequently was declared a ‘proclaimed offender’. After getting relief from the SC, Singh appeared before court and started visiting police stations to show his cooperation in the matter.
What to expect: Investigations in all cases registered against him are underway
