It may be recalled that Param Bir Singh has not reported to his office since May 2021. He had accused the then Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh for indulging in brazen extortion and that he had set a goal to collect Rs 100 crore in a month. Singh made startling allegations in his letter written to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray after he was removed from the post of Mumbai Police Commissioner. He was transferred after Inspector Sachin Waze posted with Crime Branch was arrested in connection with the murder of a businessman Mansukh Hiren. It was alleged that Waze had used Hiren’s SUV to transport explosive near business tycoon Mukesh Ambani’s residence known as Antilia.
Param Bir Singh is currently posted as Director General (DG) of Maharashtra Home Guard.
