Mumbai: Former Mumbai police commissioner and senior IPS officer Param Bir Singh was suspended by Maharashtra Government over irregularities and lapses, on Thursday. Earlier today, a magistrate court had repealed its proclamation order against Singh in an extortion case, which was registered against him in suburban Goregaon.
The 1988 batch IPS officer who was declared a ‘Proclaimed Offender’ by a Mumbai court in November was decided to be suspended after the submission of an investigation report by Additional Chief Secretary Debashish Chakravarti. Another officer Parag Manere- the then DCP of Thane city, who is also accused in a criminal case, has been suspended along with Singh. Additional chief metropolitan magistrate S B Bhajipale had given out the proclamation order on November 17, declaring former Singh as an absconder.
