Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Paramveer Singh, who is infamous for his involvement in various crimes, the business of saving big leaders of various political parties and drug and other smugglers from the clutches of the law, as well as for extorting money from his own police, now the discussion of his absconding abroad has started becoming common in the power gallery of Maharashtra for the last few days. Earlier there was a discussion that Paramveer Singh would secretly run away abroad, but now the discussion has started that Paramveer Singh will go abroad once after taking the permission of the court and will not return from there until he feels that now due to his money and trusted people, he has secured his position in Disha Salian or all the other cases in which his name is mentioned somewhere. It is being said that for this he has also deposited the necessary prescribed fee in the court.
There has been talk of former Mumbai Police Commissioner and accused in many cases including Disha Salian, Paramveer Singh going abroad for a long time. But at that time there was no discussion about him legally fleeing abroad, rather the discussion then was that Sachin Baje, who is lodged inside the jail and whose becoming a government witness can pose a big threat to Uddhav Thackeray, Aditya Thackeray, Rhea Chakraborty, Dino Maria and Paramveer Singh himself, should be taken out of jail first. Then under the guise of this, he also collected money for this from Uddhav Thackeray, Aditya Thackeray and many rich people. But he was very careful in this. He did not meet Aditya Thackeray directly but carried out all the activities through Rhea Chakraborty. He also did not meet Rhea Chakraborty directly in Mumbai, rather the buzz is that he used to meet her in Goa at the bungalow of Nikhil Kamath, a billionaire who came in contact with Rhea Chakraborty.
While in jail, Sachin Baje, by becoming a government witness, would not be entitled to go to jail for all this and get a big punishment like death penalty or life imprisonment, hence Paramveer Singh wanted to get Sachin Baje out of jail by any means and send him abroad. Former ACP Bhimrao Ghadge even says that Paramvir Singh wanted to get Sachin Baje out of jail and end his life. According to the earlier plan, Paramveer Singh would first get Sachin Baje out of jail and send him abroad and later he himself would run away abroad. He wanted to do this so that the investigating agencies could not gather the necessary evidence with the help of Sachin Baje and even if they gathered some small evidence from other sources, they could not take any action on the basis of this evidence if he was living abroad. But his plan failed and the central government started feeling that a big game was being played in Maharashtra.
Here, when NIA got information about Sachin Baje’s bail, it took up the matter in Bombay High Court and got Sachin Baje’s bail cancelled. That is, Paramveer Singh’s plan to get Sachin Baje out of jail and send him abroad was ruined. After this, he prepared this new plan of going abroad and deposited the prescribed amount for it in the court, because now he was afraid that if he flees abroad illegally, the Indian government can use its influence to bring him back to India, but if he goes abroad with the permission of the court, he can still be called here, but then he can avoid coming here for a long time by making health or many other excuses, just like Vijay Mallya. Nirav Modi etc are fugitives. Only time will tell when Paramveer Singh will go abroad or will stay here and try some new trick, but at present the discussion about his running away abroad has again gained momentum in the power gallery of Maharashtra.
Paramveer Singh can do many tricks to save himself in Disha Salian and other cases and can even deceive the court. He has done this in the past also, for which he even had to pay a fine. Let’s take a look at these actions of Paramveer Singh which are as follows:
Fine of Rs 25,000: In the year 2021, a fine of Rs 25,000 was imposed on retired judge Kailash Uttamchand Chandiwal for not appearing before the Inquiry Commission constituted by the Maharashtra Government despite repeated summons.
Extortion and suspension cases: Several cases of extortion were registered against Parambir Singh after the Antilia bomb case and allegations against former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. He remained missing for a long time, after which Mumbai’s Esplanade Court declared him a ‘fugitive’.
Speculation about going abroad: After his sudden disappearance in the year 2021, the investigating agencies suspected that he was going abroad without any official permission.
Have fled abroad (such as Russia or Belgium) using fake passports or through some other means. However, his lawyer later clarified in the Supreme Court that he was in the country and was hiding due to threat to his life. Later in May 2023, the Maharashtra government withdrew all the charges against him and also canceled his suspension.
