The CBI is carrying out a preliminary inquiry into allegations against Anil Deshmukh levelled by Param Bir Singh after he was removed from the post of Mumbai Police commissioner.
API Riyaz Qazi worked under arrested cop Sachin Waze at Mumbai Police’s CIU, and was questioned many times over his role in ‘destroying’ evidence in the Antilia bomb scare case.
Waze, arrested on 13 March, was produced before the special court after the end of his NIA remand. The anti-terror agency didn't press for his further custody.
Mumbai ex-commissioner Param Bir Singh had alleged Deshmukh’s aide told ACP Patil that then-home minister was ‘targeting collection’ of money from bars and restaurants.
The report says then JCP (Crime) Santosh Rastogi had issued the directions on 9 June last year on the verbal orders of then Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh.
Mumbai Police's report stated Waze bypassed hierarchy, reported directly to Param Bir Singh, and attended ministerial-level briefings with him in important cases like the TRP scam.
The NIA sought to question the suspended cop in connection with its preliminary enquiry into the allegations of corruption against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
Deshmukh’s resignation came Monday after the Bombay High Court ordered the CBI to probe allegations against him of running an extortion racket in Mumbai.

None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
