NDTV
The builder, who had filed an extortion case against Param Bir Singh and dismissed police officer Sachin Waze, submitted a 26-page affidavit before the one-member commission.
The allegations of corruption levelled against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh are "baseless" and a "vindictive act" of senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Param Bir Singh, a Mumbai-based builder claimed in his affidavit submitted before an inquiry commission today. The builder, Bimal Agarwal, who had filed an extortion case against Param Bir Singh and dismissed police officer Sachin Waze, submitted a 26-page affidavit before the one-member commission of Justice Kailash Uttamchand Chandiwal (Retd). The Maharashtra government in March had formed the commission to conduct a probe into the corruption allegations levelled by Param Bir Singh against the then state home minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Anil Deshmukh. In his affidavit, the builder described the manner in which Sachin Waze extorted money from him, allegedly at the behest of Param Bir Singh.
