Param Bir Singh's letter is being verified: Maharashtra CM's office

Senior Indian Police Service officer Param Bir Singh was on Saturday appointed Mumbai Police Commissioner, he was posted as Director-General of the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau.

He will take over from incumbent Sanjay Barve, whose second extended tenure expired on Saturday.

Singh, an Indian Police Service officer of the 1988 batch, is presently Maharashtra’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director-General since March 2019.

Barve, an IPS officer of the 1987 batch, was appointed to the coveted post on February 28 last year. Later, he was given two extensions of three months each by then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi government comprising Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party, and Congress, which came to power in Mahatashtra in November 2019, was not inclined to grant the third extension to Barve.

Singh has held positions like Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) in the state police, Thane Police Commissioner, DCP in several important zones in Mumbai, and also Superintendent of Police in districts like Chandrapur and Bhandara.

While Singh was Anti Corruption Bureau DG, he gave a clean chit to NCP leader Ajit Pawar in connection with the Vidarbha irrigation scam.

Current police chief Barve’s tenure was extended twice by the state for a three-month period on each occasion. Deshmukh on Friday clarified that the state has not recommended any further extension to him.

The home department had recently sent a list of six serving director generals and 30 assistant director generals to the home minister as a recommendation for the top post.
