As per news report of The Indian Express, “I will join the investigation as directed by the court,” Singh told reporters soon after he arrived in Mumbai. On Wednesday, the IPS officer, who is facing several extortion cases in Maharashtra, had said that he was in Chandigarh. Following the order by the court, notices were pasted outside Singh’s known addresses and printed in newspapers, directing him to appear before the investigating officer within 30 days.“If he had failed to do so, the investigators could have started the process of attaching Singh’s properties,” said an officer.
