Despite summons issued to him in August by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), former city top cop Param Bir Singh is nowhere to be found. Both the NIA and the state government suspect that he has fled the country fearing an arrest in various cases. NIA had summoned Singh in connection with the Antilia explosives scare and the Mansukh Hiran murder cases. 

Singh’s statement as a witness was first recorded by the NIA in April to get clarity related to dismissed cop Sachin Waze. Waze had been directly reporting to Singh at the time when the cases took place. The NIA’s charge sheet, filed recently, has details of circumstantial evidence and statements of witnesses that point to Singh and his possible involvement in the conspiracies. According to NIA sources, Singh was summoned again sometime in August, but he did not respond. The officers also visited his residence in Chandigarh and Rohtak in Haryana but could not find him.
