New Delhi: Even as new revelations in Ambani bomb scare case creates ripples, here comes another explosive twist in the story. Mumbai Police Commissioner, who was recently shunted out, after fingers were pointed at him in the Antilia case, today made shocking allegations against the Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
Former Mumbai Police commissioner Param Bir Singh has written a letter to Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray and levelled serious charges against Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
In his letter to CM Thackeray, Singh claimed that Deshmukh had asked API Sachin Vaze to collect Rs 100 crore every month from bars restaurants, other establishments.
“The Home Minister told Vaze that he had a target to accumulate Rs 100 crores a month. For achieving this target, he told Vaze that there are about 1,750 bars, restaurants and other establishments in Mumbai and if a sum of Rs 2-3 lakhs each was collected from each of 3 them, a monthly collection of Rs. 40-50 crores was achievable. Rest of the collection could be made from other sources,” Parambir Singh reportedly wrote in the letter.
