Sandeep Kumar Singh, the collector of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, has moved the Bombay High Court seeking quashing of the FIR against him in the case related to the alleged suicide of MP Mohan Delkar. The petition was heard by a bench of Justices S S Shinde and Manish Pitale on Wednesday.

The FIR that names him as one of the accused in the case of abetment to suicide was "baseless", the plea said. Delkar, a Member of Parliament from the Union Territory, allegedly died by suicide in a hotel in Mumbai last month. A suicide note was also found at the spot.
