Yet another complaint has been filed against former Mumbai police commissioner and suspended IPS officer Param Bir Singh. A businessman, who has fled to the US, has alleged that Singh and IAS officer Radhey Shyam Mopalwar framed him in a MCOCA case to extort money from him. Anil Vedmehta has filed the complaint at Santacruz police station through his lawyer.
MOPALWAR heads the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). Vedmehta’s lawyer Ali Kashif Khan Deshmukh said Mopalwar connived with Singh to implicate his client through a case registered against him with the Kalwa police in 2017. It was Singh who gave the nod to invoke the stringent Maharashtra Crime Organised Control Act (MCOCA) against Vedmehta, said Khan.
