Param Bir letter: File corruption offence, says ex-IPS officer

Meanwhile, former IPS officer PK Jain on Saturday mentioned an offence must be registered in opposition to Deshmukh underneath the anti-corruption Act.

“To my thoughts, an offence underneath the anti-corruption Act must be registered immediately. Deshmukh has no proper to proceed in his place as a result of if Param Bir Singh may be faraway from his place for finishing up a good probe, then I feel by the identical analogy the minister has no enterprise to

proceed in his place,” Jain mentioned.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) underneath courtroom supervision ought to probe this matter, Jain mentioned. 

“Whether the charges are true or false is a different matter altogether,” Jain mentioned, including police are at all times “under the thumb” of their political masters.

“Any officer who is liked by them is given plum postings. When I say plum posting they are all field postings, the ‘desirable’ postings. Any officer who does not listen to them, who does not tow their line, is always thrown on the sidelines,” Jain mentioned.

A 1981-batch IPS officer, Jain was the secretary of the Maharashtra State IPS Officers’ Association and served as principal secretary (residence), joint commissioner (admin) of Mumbai police, managing director of Maharashtra State Security Corporation, and in addition as ADG (particular operations).

Everybody desires the police to be underneath their thumb to perform their needs – when it comes to arrests, when it comes to enforcement, when it comes to doing no matter

they need to do, when it comes to collections,” Jain mentioned.

He mentioned Singh in his letter has given particular examples. “He is giving specific dates and persons who were present in such a meeting when the money was demanded. Singh is a serving officer. If he has leveled charges in writing, it is serious.”

“And obviously he would be having some order or some material to back up his claims, which he will come out with at the right time. So, I think the situation has come down to a level where it is a slap on the face of Maharashtra government,” Jain mentioned.

He mentioned Singh talked about within the letter that he introduced this challenge (Rs 100 crore demand) to the discover of the chief minister. 

“He brought it to the notice of the deputy chief minister. He also brought it to the notice of the NCP supremo,” Jain added.

“But yes, if extortion was being done on his behalf and on behalf of the minister and he was keeping quiet, I think he (Singh) is also a party. But I think this is all a matter of investigation,” he mentioned.

“In the meantime, we should not forget that the basic picture of the gelatin being planted outside Ambani’s house and the probe into that was pointing to a different party and a different line altogether,” Jain mentioned.
