Crime Branch of Mumbai police on Saturday sent an inquiry notice to former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, in connection with an extortion case.
"An inquiry notice has been sent to Parambir Singh asking him to appear before the police on October 12, " Mumbai police said.
The Crime Branch of Mumbai police pasted a notice at Parambir Singh's Mumbai residence and a team has also gone to Haryana to give him notice at Haryana residence.
"It is revealed that there are reasonable grounds to question you to ascertain facts circumstances from you, in relation with the present investigation. Hence, you are directed to appear before me at 11 am on October 12, at Unit-11 office, DCB, CID, Kandivali West, Mumbai," said Mumbai police's notice to Singh.
