Looks like Thane Commissioner of Police (CP) Parambir Singh is not the only one irked by former Mumbai CP Julio Ribeiro's 'good cop-bad cop' article. The ones taking offence to it now are retired top cops, who feel that fellow retiree Ribeiro shouldn't have passed such remarks against policemen still in the force, as it may demoralize the teams they're leading. mid-day had reported about Singh's stinging reply to Ribeiro's article on July 17 in, 'Ribeiro influenced so many cases. How dare he call me a bad cop?'

Among those who also disliked Ribeiro's remarks is former Mumbai CP M N Singh, who was DCP (Zone-1) when Ribeiro was Mumbai police chief.
