Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh has been shunted out and will be replaced by Hemant Nagrale. Singh has been transferred to the Home Guard department. His transfer comes just days after Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze was arrested by the NIA in the Antilia bomb scare case. Vaze was directly reporting to Param Bir Singh. It was the Param Bir-headed review committee that reinstated Sachin Vaze after 16 years despite a court order against the controversial cop.
