The former Mumbai Police Commissioner had sought quashing of FIR in an atrocities case of 2015
The Maharashtra government told the Bombay High Court on Friday that no coercive action would be taken against former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh till October 20 on a plea by him seeking to quash the FIR in an atrocities case of 2015.
Additional public prosecutor J.P. Yagnik told a Division Bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and N.J. Jamadar that a statement made by the State on May 24 would be extended till October 20.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Mr. Singh seeking to quash the FIR filed against him at the Bazzar Peth police station, Kalyan and it was also registered at Akola. The plea states, “The FIR refers to an event of 2015 and is belatedly registered after having failed to pressure him to withdraw his complaint against former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.”
