Ex-Mumbai Police Chief Param Bir Singh 'No More Proclaimed Offender'. Suspended From Service

A Mumbai court had earlier declared Singh a proclaimed offender as he did not show up for the hearing despite several notices against him.

Mumbai: Mumbai’s Esplanade Court on Thursday cancelled former Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh’s proclamation offender order.

News agency ANI reported this development in the case against Singh, who was declared an absconder earlier on November 17.

A Mumbai court had earlier declared Singh a proclaimed offender as he did not show up for the hearing despite several notices against him.

Subsequently, a non-bailable warrant was issued against the former Mumbai top cop.

The Supreme Court had earlier last month granted protection from arrest to the 1988-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer.

The apex court’s decision came after Singh’s lawyer told the court that he is “very much in the country and is not absconding”.

Adjourning the matter for further hearing on December 6, the apex court had also issued notice to the Maharashtra government and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Singh had last attended his office in May this year after which he went on leave.

Singh, who is facing a slew of FIRs in Mumbai and the satellite towns after the seizure of explosives outside Antilia and the murder of Thane businessman Mansukh Hiren, was removed from the top post earlier in March this year.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has signed the file on Singh’s suspension.

He has been suspended for “irregularities and lapses”, PTI reported an official as saying.

The state government has sent the orders to the DGP of Maharashtra to serve the suspension on Singh and another DCP rank officer.
