Even as no information on the whereabouts of former top cop Param Bir Singh continues to be a matter of concern, Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil on Thursday said they have intelligence about him having fled the country. However, he said they were trying to connect with the Union home ministry to gather information about him. Patil added that they will initiate disciplinary action against Singh if he has left the country without permission.

While interacting with the media on Thursday, Patil said that either Singh was not in the country or he was hiding somewhere in India. “We are searching for him. If he has left the country then it is a matter of serious concern. We are trying to connect with the Union Home minister to collect more information,” Patil said.
