Param Bir Singh: To find Param Bir Singh, the Maharashtra government launched a ‘comprehensive search’. Mumbai News – Times of India

MUMBAI: A week after the CID failed to serve a bailable warrant against Param Bir Singh, state Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil on Thursday said the MVA government has launched a massive probe to trace the former Mumbai police. But the search was started. Chief for his alleged involvement in serious offences. Asked whether Singh had gone to London or Russia, as was alleged in some circles, Walse Patil said he had no such information.
A week ago, the Chandiwal commission probing Singh’s letter to the chief minister had leveled charges against former state home minister Anil Deshmukh, having issued a bailable warrant to secure his appearance before the commission, but the state CID failed to locate them.
Walse Patil told TOI, “We have launched a search to trace Param Bir Singh. We are also taking the help of the central government for this. Our officers are coordinating with the Centre. We do not know about his whereabouts, if he has fled India. We don’t have solid information. As per the rules, it is mandatory for any employee or even the Chief Minister to take the permission of the government before leaving the country. In the case of Singh, it is found that he never applied for permission to travel abroad. Actually, the CID has issued a lookout notice against him.

Further, Walse Patil said that as per the rules, whenever an employee goes on medical leave, as was the case with Singh, he has to inform the government about his whereabouts during the period of leave. But Singh did not inform the government about his place of residence. “We will take action as per the provisions of the law,” he said.
Meanwhile, State Congress President Nana Patole He on Thursday blamed the NCP-controlled home department for failing to arrest Singh for his alleged involvement in planting explosives outside the industrialist’s residence. Mukesh AmbaniPatole said that when it came to light that the sacked assistant police inspector Sachin Vaze Singh was directly involved in planting the explosives, the Mumbai Police should have arrested Singh and the state home department should have suspended him immediately.
“In police circles, the relationship between Singh and Vaze was well known, and the Mumbai Police and the Home Department should have acted swiftly. Thereafter, both the police and the home department were helpless as the investigation of the episode was taken over by the NIA,” said Patole.

Patole spoke of the possibility of Singh leaving the country and running away. “In several quarters, it has been said that Singh has quietly left the country with the help of the Modi-led government. Had he been arrested soon after Vaze’s arrest, the state home department could have gotten vital information from him,” Patole claimed.
