Mumbai cop accuses Param Bir Singh of trying to ‘silence’ him with false cases

The former Mumbai Police Commissioner was vindictive, corrupt and defamed the force, Inspector tells SC

A Mumbai police Inspector on Thursday accused the city’s former top cop and his ex-boss, Param Bir Singh, in the Supreme Court of trying to ‘silence’ him by framing fake cases against him. Mr. Singh, who was shunted out from the post of the Mumbai Police Commissioner against then Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, had recently approached the Supreme Court. He wants the apex court to transfer pending internal enquiries and investigations against him to another State. He alleged that the Uddhav Thackeray government was trying to frame him in false cases for complaining against their senior leader, Mr. Deshmukh, who had to resign as Home Minister in the wake of the controversy. Now, Inspector Bhimraj Rohidas Ghadge, represented by advocate Vipin Nair, has, in turn, accused Mr. Singh of being vindictive and corrupt during his tenure as Mumbai police chief.
