'Param Bir Singh is in Belgium, slipped out via Nepal'

MUMBAI: Former Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam on Saturday said that former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh is in Belgium. In a tweet on Saturday, Nirupam asked who had given a safe passage to Singh to go to Belgium.
Nirupam’s tweet said: “He is the former Police Commissioner of Mumbai Police. He had accused the minister of extortion. Now he himself is wanted in five cases. The police have said that he is absconding. Turns out, he’s in Belgium. How did he go to Belgium? Who gave him safe passage? Can’t we get him back by sending undercover officers?”

Nirupam said that as Mumbai CP, Singh was on a prestigious post. “At this post, he made allegations of Rs 100 crore extortion against the government. This is being investigated. We now know that Singh himself ran a big extortion racket. The Mumbai police have said that he is absconding... Singh is absconding for six months after a crime, he was in Chandigarh but no action was taken. The Centre has said the country’s borders are secure so how did Singh escape or was he allowed to escape,” Nirupam said.
Nirupam said that Singh fled to Nepal and then left for Europe.
