Former Mumbai Police Commissioner M N Singh said that gangsters like Dawood Ibrahim become big when they are backed by politicians and influential people in society. Some officers go rogue because of political interference in the police force. 

Singh minced no words while talking about the politician-underworld nexus and the Antilia case in which half a dozen cops have been arrested. Singh, who led a massive onslaught against the underworld and supervised the 1993 serial blasts’ investigation, was speaking at the launch function of journalist Jitendra Dixit’s book “Bombay After Ayodhya”.
