Mumbai Ex-Top Cop Summoned Again In Corruption Case Against Anil Deshmukh

Despite being called several times, former Mumbai Police commissioner Param Bir Singh has not appeared before the commission in the alleged corruption case against ex-Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.

The Chandiwal Judicial Commission on Wednesday issued another notice summoning former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh on October 6, in connection with an alleged corruption case of Rs 100 crore against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.

Despite being called several times, Mr Singh has not appeared before the commission and his case is being presented by his lawyer on his behalf.

Reacting to Mr Singh's absence, Mr Deshmukh's lawyer Anita Shekhar appealed to the commission to confiscate his property and issue a warrant against him. But in the wake of seniority and dignity of the position held by him previously, the commission gave him another chance.

The bailable warrants issued against the former commissioner were also taken by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) officers at three locations but Mr Singh was not present there.
