New Delhi: Former Police Commissioner Mumbai Param Bir Singh has seen the notice released by him by Mumbai police long before his departure, according to the sources here.
The central agency, including the enforcement directorate, has tracked its movement of seeking its presence before investigating officers in the money laundering case against former home ministers Anil Deshmukh.
Singh was called by Ed last month to be questioned, but the former Police Commissioner Mumbai has expressed his inability to health reasons.
The source said Singh might be hiding somewhere in the country because he saw a delayed notice against him and stored in the watchlist at all airports.
“There is no possibility he will miss the immigration authority, he tries to leave the country, unless he has taken the land route to Nepal to escape,” said a senior official.
ED also tends to submit a separate case under the prevention of money laundering against Singh based on FIR registered by Mumbai police against it.
The former boss and former Minister of Home Deshmukh also had gone underground and avoided repeated calls from Ed.
Dishmukh’s arrest was near, said sources, because he had spent all the legal choices and the court also directed him to surrender and present before Ed.
Singh went to the underground after a warrant was issued against him because of his failure to the AP commission constituted by the Maharashtra government to investigate corruption allegations against Deshmukh.
Ed had also published his summons last month looking for his appearance before the investigative officer and was in the process of publishing a new call.
