MUMBAI: Inspector Anup Dange, who had complained to the ACB against former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh, on Friday sent a letter to the director general of ACB claiming that a witness in his case was being threatened by some political people”. Dange also alleged that “some people” were keeping tabs on his movements.
In his complaint to the home department, Dange had alleged that Singh’s relative had demanded Rs 2 crore to reinstate him in the force.
“There is one witness who knows money was demanded from me. In my statement to the ACB, I had given his name, documentary and electronic evidence. ACB submitted the report to the state and an open inquiry against Singh was ordered,” Dange told TOI. “I am apprehending a threat to my life. I will be applying to the police chief for a private arm licence. If something happens to me...Singh and other accused...be held resp-onsible.” TOI tried contacting Singh for comment, but his phone was switched off. An ACB officer said they haven’t received any letter from Dange yet.
