Not Pressing Ex-Police Chief To Withdraw Case Against Anil Deshmukh: Cop

The inspector alleged that Param Bir Singh has defamed the police force by indulging in corrupt practices during his entire service career.

An inspector in the Mumbai police filed an affidavit in the Bombay High Court on Thursday, saying his case under the Atrocities Act lodged against former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh was not to pressurise him to withdraw his complaint against ex-Maharashtra minister Anil Deshmukh. Inspector Bhimrao Ghadge filed the affidavit through his advocate SB Talekar, opposing Param Bir Singh's petition seeking to quash the FIR registered against the former Mumbai police commissioner. The inspector alleged that Param Bir Singh has defamed the police force by indulging in corrupt practices during his entire service career. Last week, a vacation bench of the HC posted Singh's petition for hearing on May 21.
