The Maharashtra government has not received any communication from DG Home Guard, Param Bir Singh, who is on leave since May 4. Since he was transferred from the post of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai in March following the bomb scare episode outside the Ambani home, Singh reported to office for few days and then went on medical leave. His medical leave was extended to August 29 and he is supposed to report to work on Monday. However, government sources have told mid-day that there is no communication from Singh and his mobile phone has been switched off for the past few days.
As DGP Home Guard, Singh directly reports to the state government, and on two occasions he had informed his department that he was going to undergo some surgery, and wouldn’t be able to report due to medical reasons. First he went on leave citing medical reasons from May 4 to July 17 and then he took two extensions, one till August 7 and the other till August 29. “There is no fresh communication from him as of yet,” an officer from the DG Home Guard said.
