New Delhi:
An independent probe is necessary in the matter of former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh’s allegations of corruption against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh since both occupied such high positions in the government, the Supreme Court today said. The court observed that the two were even working closely together until they fall apart.
The Supreme Court’s comments came on an appeal by the Maharashtra government to stay a Bombay High Court order for a CBI probe into the allegations.
