Param Bir Singh submits chat with DGP Pandey in SC; Maha govt says former Mumbai top cop is no whistleblower

Suspended IPS officer Param Bir Singh has submitted a copy of alleged conversation between him and DGP Sanjay Pandey before the Supreme Court.

Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh submitted an affidavit before the Supreme Court, attaching an alleged conversation between him and Director-General of Police (DGP) Sanjay Pandey. In the conversation, DGP Pandey allegedly asked Param Bir Singh to withdraw his letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, wherein he had levelled extortion allegation against former home minister Anil Deshmukh.

Param Bir Singh claimed that Sanjay Pandey had promised that he will settle inquires against him if he writes saying that he made those allegations against Anil Deshmukh due to “grievances” and sudden provocation resulting out of statements released by the then home minister.
