Letter Bomb: Ex-Pimpri-Chinchwad cop accused of corruption of Rs 200 crore

Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh's letter bomb created a stir across the country. He had made a sensational allegation that former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had set a recovery target of Rs 100 crore. A case has also been registered against Sachin Vaze and some others. Now, in Pimpri-Chinchwad, a letter bomb related to former police commissioner Krishna Prakash has caused a stir. 

What is special is that this letter was also written by a police officer. IPS Krishnaprakash was transferred a few days back. After that, it was seen that he had gone to visit Sharad Pawar.
