In a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, former Mumbai Police commissioner Param Bir Singh has accused that state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had ordered Sachin Waze to collect Rs 100 crore for him every month.

On Saturday, March 20, according to TOI, Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh wrote a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and accused the state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh of ordering now suspended API Sachin Waze to collect Rs 100 crore every month from bars, restaurants and other establishments.

“Shri Sachin Vaze who was heading the Crime Intelligence Unit of the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police was called by Shri Anil Deshmukh, Hon’ble Home Minister, Maharashtra to his official residence Dyaneshwar several times in last few months and repeatedly instructed to assist in collection of funds for the Hon’ble Home Minister,” Param Bir Singh claims in his letter.

“The Hon’ble Home Minister was targeting a collection of Rs. 40-50 crores which was possible through an approximate 1,750 bars, restaurants and establishments operating in Mumbai. I was informed by ACP Patil about the demand to make collections for the Hon’ble Home Minister,” the letter further claims.
Now, Maharashtra Home Minister has denied all the allegations put forth by the former Mumbai Police Commissioner. The state HM wrote on his official Twitter handle, “The former Commissioner of Police, Parambir Singh has made false allegations in order to save himself as the involvement of Sachin Waze in Mukesh Ambani & Mansukh Hiren’s case is becoming clearer from the investigation carried out so far & threads are leading to Mr. Singh as well”.

 

 

On the other side, BJP leader and former CM of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis shared a video and demanded resignation of Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Along with the video message, Fadnavis wrote, “We demand detailed investigation by Central Govt agencies into the very serious allegations against Maharashtra Home Minister. If GoM disagrees, a Court monitored investigation be done. Looking at the evidence placed in this letter, HM should immediately resign or CM should sack him.”
