Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh fined ₹25,000 for not appearing before the Commission of Inquiry
- The Inquiry Commission headed by a retired High Court judge has imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh for not appearing before it.
- The Maharashtra govt had in March this year set up a one-man commission of Justice (retd) Kailash Uttamchand Chandiwal to probe the corruption allegations against him.
- A government lawyer said on Thursday that Singh was fined Rs 25,000 for not appearing before the commission on Wednesday.
- He said that during the last hearing, the Commission of Inquiry had given Singh the 'last chance' to appear before it.
- This is the second time that Parambir Singh has been fined. In June, the commission had asked the senior IPS officer to pay a fine of Rs 5,000 for not appearing before him despite summons.
