Mumbai: The Maharashtra government on Tuesday formed by a single-member committee that will investigate the allegations levelled by former Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh against state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. According to a Hindustan Times report, the committee comprises retired high court judge Justice Kailash Chandiwal.
The committee will have to submit its report within six months. The Justice Chandiwal Committee is to investigate if Param Bir Singh has submitted any evidence in his March 20 letter where he has levelled allegations against Anil Deshmukh.
According to the reports, apart from this, the Justice Chandiwal Committee will also examine if in the wake of Param Bir Singh’s letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is there a need for an inquiry by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) against Anil Deshmukh and his staff.
