Mumbai Ex-Top Cop Param Bir Singh Is In India, Not Absconding: Lawyer

Param Bir Singh "does not want to abscond and does not want to run anywhere" but faces a threat to his life, his lawyer told the Supreme Court.

Former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh is not absconding and is in India, his lawyer told the Supreme Court today, days after the court refused to grant him protection from arrest and asked for his location.

Param Bir Singh "does not want to abscond and does not want to run anywhere" but faces a threat to his life, his lawyer told the Supreme Court.

"The moment he touches the land in Maharashtra he faces a threat from the Mumbai Police," the lawyer said.

"There are people like bookies and others indulged in illegal activities who have filed FIRs against him," he added.
