How Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh Used Indiabulls as an Accomplice in Manufacturing Fake “Hindu Terror” Bogey in 2008

Prof. Madhu Kishwar

Among the many sinister acts of Sonia Congress is its dubious role in facilitating the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks in cohorts with rogue officers of Mumbai Police and in manufacturing the Fake Narrative of “Hindu Terror” in order to crush nationalist forces in India in cohorts with ISI of Pakistan.

Param Bir Singh, the present Commissioner of Mumbai Police, who is embroiled in massive controversy over his role in Sushant Singh Rajput Murder case and for filing fake criminal cases against Republic TV, was a key player in implicating many innocent persons in order to support the fake narrative of “Hindu Terror.” He was at the time Additional Commissioner of Police Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). His elevation to the Police Commissioner’s rank in Mumbai—the most coveted police posting in all of India, despite a consistently dubious track record, appears to be a reward for his role in brutalizing a number of innocent persons such as Sadhavi Pragya and Colonel Purohit at the behest of Sonia Congress backed by the D-Gang.

Case 1: 'Malegaon Blast’ Related Misdeeds of IPS Param Bir Singh & the India Bulls Connection: Among his many misdeeds in that domain, let me share a glaring crime committed by Param Bir Singh in the course of investigation into Malegaon 2008 blasts while he was Additional CP, Maharashtra ATS.

On August 9, 2010, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, one of the persons falsely implicated by Param Bir Singh in Malegaon 2008 blasts case, filed an affidavit in the Sessions Court, Nasik, describing how on October 24, 2008 he was illegally kidnapped from Nasik by officers of Maharashtra ATS under direct supervision of Param Bir Singh.

In his affidavit, Chaturvedi describes how on the night of 23rd October, 2008 he was forcibly shoved into an ATS vehicle. He was blindfolded and taken to an unknown destination. The next day (i.e. October 24) he was presented before Param Bir Singh at the ATS office in Kala Chowki, Mumbai. There he was brutally beaten up by the team of four ATS officers who also threatened to kill him. Thus far he had not been told for what crime he was being thus incarcerated.

On the night of October 24, he was taken to Santa Cruz Airport from where he was bundled into a plane chartered by India Bulls Aviation Ltd. and flown to Bhopal along with Sachin Kadam, Rajan Gole, Sunil Yadav, Sanjay Patil, Krishna Sawant, etc. Chaturvedi later found out through an RTI inquiry that the ATS registered him as a traveller in that plane under a fake name – Sangram Singh. No such person of that name flew in that aircraft.

In a Bhopal hotel, ATS officers beat him up again and forced him to sign a false confession. In Bhopal they picked up another person by the name of Sharad Kulkarni and on October 25 brought Chaturvedi and Kulkarni to Mumbai in yet another plane chartered by India Bulls. The information about the charter flights and fake name (Sangram Singh) given to Chaturvedi was obtained through an RTI application. (The two screenshots of the RTI response are given at the end of the article which list Sangram Singh as passenger No 10. See Annexure 1).

After reaching Mumbai they were driven straight to ATS office where Chaturvedi met other innocents likewise forcibly abducted by the ATS under Param Bir Singh’s charge. These included Sadhavi Pragya, Shyam Shahu, Shivnarayan, Gopal Singh Kalsangra and Major Ramesh Upadhyaya.

Chaturvedi alleges that he was kept in the ATS custody till November 4, 2008 and tortured both physically and mentally. Thereafter he was locked up in Taloja Jail.

It is noteworthy that IPS Param Bir Singh's wife, Savita Singh is currently a Director with India Bulls Properties as per a report from business research platform Tofler.

The arrest of Sangram Singh was also reported by Hindustan Times but there is no accused by the name of Sangram Singh in the Malegaon 2008 blasts case. To quote from that report dated October 27, 2008:

Malegaon blast: Focus on new outfits: The arrest of two more people on Sunday for their alleged involvement in the Malegaon bomb blast of September 29 has brought the activities of a couple of little known Hindu radical organisations into sharp focus: the Rashtriya Jagran Manchand Abhinav Bharat. The Maharashtra Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) which is probing the blast, arrested Sameer Kulkarni from Bhopal and Sangram Singh from Indore, bringing the total number of arrests to seven. Both are office bearers of Abhinav Bharat.

ATS sources admitted that they had mistakenly named the ‘Hindu Jagran Manch’ as being under their scanner. They had actually meant the Rashtriya Jagran Manch. Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, the president of the Manch, has already been held for her alleged involvement in the blast. "Brochures we have collected indicate she is its president,” said an ATS source.

The ATS also raided Pragya's rented residence in Jabalpur on Sunday, but admitted to have found nothing incriminating….

Reason For Targeting Chaturvedi: In my article on the incarceration of Lt Col Purohit by Maharashtra ATS, there is a section on why Chaturvedi was targeted by Param Bir Singh and his boss Karkare. To quote from that article:

“…there are two eyewitnesses namely Subedar Pawar and Major Praveen Khanzode - who have testified before the army Court of Inquiry that they saw Assistant Police Inspector (API) Bagade planting traces of RDX in the house of Sudhakar Chaturvedi who was one of the key links in the Intelligence Network cultivated by Purohit while he was posted at Nashik.

Sudhakar Chaturvedi was also arrested as Accused No 11 in [Malegaon Blast] case even though he was a registered intelligence operator and was entered as such in the army’s official records by Purohit. The ATS claimed him arrested on 20 November 2008 and have shown his house, which was provided to him in the cantonment area, searched under panchnama on 25 November 2008. In the charge-sheet the ATS have claimed that the traces of RDX explosives which were recovered from Chaturvedi’s house during the claimed search on 25 November 2008 prove that the bomb used in the Malegaon blast was prepared and assembled at Chaturvedi’s house at Devlali, Nashik at the behest of Purohit who was ideologically motivated to undertake bomb blasts on account of his alleged “saffron” affiliation.

However during the Army’s Court of Inquiry, Major Praveen Khanzode and Subedar Keshav R Pawar, stated that on 3 November 2008, i.e. 2 days before Purohit’s official arrest and 17 days before the arrest of Chaturvedi, that they had caught Shekhar Bagade of ATS red handed while he was planting evidence at Chaturvedi’s house. On getting caught Bagade pleaded with them with folded hands not to report his presence at Chaturvedi’s house to any one as it would create lot of problems for him and may even cost him his job.  This incident was reported by Major Khanzode to all his seniors in Devlali and also to Headquarters Southern Command, Pune. (Page 330 of the Court of Inquiry Report of 8 July 2009).

Sharad Pawar as the Master Mind: It is an open secret that Sharad Pawar was the mastermind of this plot because of his cosy links with the D Gang. This fake narrative was then used by Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, P. Chidambaram, Digvijay Singh, Sushil Kumar Shinde and numerous others along with senior bureaucrats like the then Home Secretary GK Pillai and later by Home Secretary RK Singh to run a vicious demonization campaign against Hindus, both at the national as well as international level. To quote one of the many such noxious statements by Rahul Gandhi:

According to Wikileaks, Mr Gandhi told a US envoy last year there was some support among Indian Muslims for militants such as Lashkar-e-Taiba. But he told ambassador Timothy Roemer the greater threat could come from the growth of radical Hindu groups. Opposition politicians were angered, suggesting Mr Gandhi has "a sick mind".

Mr Gandhi was at a lunch hosted by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in July 2009, Ambassador Roemer wrote in a cable a month later.

He recalls Mr Gandhi saying: "Although there was evidence of some support for Laskar-e-Taiba among certain elements in India's indigenous Muslim community, the bigger threat may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community." (https://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/219238https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-12018744)

The main purpose of providing these details is to point to the following criminal acts (among countless others) committed under the direct charge of Param Bir Singh in cooking up the “Hindu Terror” bogey / theory so as to protect Islamic terrorists:

1. Arrest of Chaturvedi without warrant after forcible abduction;

2. Third degree torture of Chaturvedi who had absolutely no criminal history and was in fact an official Army Intelligence source;

3. Using a charter plane paid for by India Bulls (a private company) to undertake a surreptitious trip to Bhopal instead of showing the Bhopal trip as an official one;

4. Giving Chaturvedi a false identity in the records of Santa Cruz airport plus India Bulls charter flight. Was Chaturvedi given a false name because the ATS wanted to kill him like, as according to CBI, ATS killed Dilip Patidar?

5. Falsely implicating Chaturvedi and several others in Malegaon 2008 blasts in order to protect Islamist forces working within and outside India.

Case Two: Covering Up Murder in Cohorts with India Bulls: Param Bir Singh’s name is also linked to covering up a murder case while he was Commissioner Police, Thane. I quote verbatim the report published in The Free Press Journal on March 19, 2017:

Mumbai: In what can spell trouble for Thane Police Commissioner Parambir Singh, a writ petition has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against him.

The petition filed by a Dombivli-based businessman – Kishor Sohoni – has alleged that Singh had ‘conspired’ to kill Vakola police station’s senior police inspector Vilas Joshi in 2015. Reportedly, Joshi was shot dead in the police station by police inspector Dilip Shirke. The incident was then considered as a result of the rift between the two officers over duty hours.

However, Sohoni has claimed that the incident was planned by Thane’s top cop along with his junior and Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Vilas Mane.

In the petition filed through his advocate Sadhna Kumar, Sohoni has stated, “Singh and Mane had conspired in this murder to save their face and to favour their friend India Bulls Director Ashok Kacker in a recovery case of Rs 100 crore belonging to a group of Indian Revenue Service officers. It is pertinent to note that Singh’s wife is associated with India Bulls.”

According to Sohoni, the director of India Bulls had allegedly duped a retired Income Tax (IT) officer of Rs 50 crore and that later the IT officer planned to kidnap India Bulls’ director. It is claimed that Joshi (who was posted at Vakola police station) had picked up the boys who were allegedly planning to abduct Kacker, but the latter refused to lodge any complaint against them. It is argued that despite Kacker’s move, these boys were illegally detained by the Thane police after taking their custody from Joshi. It is claimed that all this was done at the behest of Singh.

Sohoni has claimed that Joshi knew about the wrongdoings of the top cop and was accordingly killed.

“The petitioner (Sohoni) decided to find out the truth on his level and was shocked to know that Singh and his associates were the key conspirators behind the murder of a police officer,” the petition reads.

Needless to say that Param Bir Singh used his clout to let the case languish in courts so that the guilty have thus far escaped punishment. These are mere tip of the iceberg of the crimes committed by Param Bir Singh. Thanks to the political patronage he enjoys from Sharad Pawar and D. Company, he has continued to be rewarded for his misdeeds instead of being taken to task for them.
