MUMBAI: Police inspector Anup Dange, who had lodged a complaint of corruption with the Anti-Corruption Bureau against former police commissioner Param Bir Singh, wrote on Wednesday to the city police commissioner for a private arms licence.
Dange, in a two-page letter, said he and his family members fear for their lives. “I have a service weapon but that weapon cannot be carried when I am off duty or when I am going to see my aged father in Pune,” Dange told TOI. Dange said that he had taken action against several criminals including members of an Indian Mujahideen module, and there had been an attempt on his life while he was posted at Antop Hill police station.
Dange has already filed a complaint last month that he and witnesses in the ACB case are being pressured not to pursue his complaint against Singh. “If something happens to me... Param Bir Singh, Jitendra Navlani, Shadrul Singh Bayas, Bharat Shah, Rajeev Shah and Yash Mehta should be held responsible,” Dange said in his letter.
