NDTV
Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has said mistakes revealed in the probe could not be condoned, so Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray decided to remove Param Bir Singh.
Param Bir Singh was replaced as Mumbai Police Commissioner because some lapses had been revealed in the handling of the Mukesh Ambani security scare that could not be forgiven, the Maharashtra government has said. In an interview to a Marathi channel, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has said mistakes revealed in the probe could not be condoned, so Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray decided to remove Param Bir Singh in the interest of fair investigations. Param Bir Singh was transferred to Home Guard and Hemant Nagrale was appointed the new Mumbai police chief yesterday in a fallout of the investigations against police officer Sachin Waze arrested in the case of a car full of explosives found near the home of Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani, India's richest man. The investigation was taken over by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) from the Mumbai Police after allegations emerged against Sachin Waze linked to the death of a man believed to be the owner of the explosives-filled SUV. "In the investigation, certain aspects came out that could not be accepted. That is why the Chief Minister and I decided that the probe should be fair and there should not be any obstruction of justice," Anil Deshmukh said.
