Pleas seek central agency probe into Param Bir’s allegations against Anil Deshmukh
The HinduA petition has been filed before the Bombay High Court seeking probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate into the allegations made by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh against Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. On March 20, Mr. Singh, now the Director General of Police wrote a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray disclosing the modus operandi for collection of ₹100 crore monthly using corrupt methods, planned by Mr. Deshmukh. These corrupt malpractices have been brought to notice by Mr. Singh.” Therefore, the court seeks a direction to the CBI, ED or any independent agency to conduct unbiased and fair investigation into Mr. Deshmukh’s malpractices. Mr. Deshmukh added that the rest of the collection could be made from other sources.” Another plea filed before the court by Hemant Patil also seeks directions for an independent agency under the supervision of the court to investigate the matter, and for an FIR to be filed against Mr. Vaze.
