Mumbai: Issue NBW against Param Bir Singh, cops ask court
MUMBAI: The city crime branch has filed an application before the 37th metropolitan magistrate court seeking a non-bailable warrant against former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh. The court will hear the matter on Saturday.
The crime branch unit 11, probing an extortion case against Singh, dismissed cop Sachin Waze and others, has issued two-three summons, but Singh has not responded.
The non-bailable warrant will pave the way to declaring Singh an absconder. “The procedure is that first we have to send notices. If the person fails to respond, the court issues a bailable warrant and then non-bailable warrant. If he fails to turn up even then, we start the procedure of declaring the person an absconder,” said an official. He added that Singh has failed to appear before the state-appointed Justice Chandiwal committee, the National Investigation Agency, and the crime branch.
The state government has stopped IPS officer Singh’s salary from October. In March, Singh was removed as Mumbai police chief and made DG, home guards, following the Antilia bomb scare case, but he did not join. Five separate offences have been registered against Singh. The anti-corruption bureau is conducting two open inquiries against him.
