A magistrate's court issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh in an alleged extortion case registered in suburban Goregaon.

This is the second such order against Singh this week. On October 26, a court in neighbouring Thane had issued an NBW against him in connection with another extortion case registered against him. The crime branch of Mumbai Police said it approached the Mumbai court for issuance of an NBW as Singh did not respond to its summons to join the investigation.
