Second fine of ₹25,000 slapped on Param Bir Singh for failing to appear before Chandiwal committee

Former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh has been slapped with a second fine of ₹25,000 for failing to appear before the Chandiwal committee probing allegations against Anil Deshmukh.

The single-member Chandiwal committee has imposed a fine of 25,000 for a second time on former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh. A similar fine was levied on Singh on August 18 for failing to appear before the committee. He was asked to pay this amount to the Maharashtra Chief Minister's Covid Relief Fund. However, former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh is yet to pay the earlier penalty and will now have to pay a total of 50,000 in fines.
