Ex-Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh declared as 'Proclaimed Absconder'

In a significant development, a magistrate's court in Mumbai on Wednesday accepted a plea move by the Mumbai Police to declare ex-city Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh as a 'Proclaimed Absconder' for his alleged involvement in an extortion case lodged against him.

The development follows an application filed by the Mumbai Police seeking a declaration to this effect with regard to Singh, who is 'untraceable' since several months now.
