1988 batch senior IPS officer Param Bir Singh has been retired from his service. 58 year old Singh hung up his boots while under suspension.
He has been the Director General (DG) of Maharashtra Home Guard, and a former Police Commissioner of Mumbai. Following the filing of extortion cases against him, he was untraceable, and was declared as absconding by a Mumbai magistrate Court. Singh was suspended from his present position as head of home guard because of his absence by the government of Maharashtra.
Singh had made a series of allegations against then Home Minister Anil Deshmukh putting the erstwhile Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government in trouble during March-April, 2021.
Deshmukh (72), a senior NCP leader, who is close to NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, is currently in jail after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and then by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Singh had made the allegations after he was shunted out as Mumbai Police Commissioner and made the Commandant General of Home Guards after the planting of a gelatine sticks-laden Scorpio near Antilia, the Carmichael Road residence of Reliance Industries Ltd Chairman Mukesh Ambani and the murder of the Thane-based owner of the SUV Mansukh Hiren.
