Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh on Monday told the Supreme Court he is in India and not absconding. He said he has been hiding as he faces a threat to his life. The court, meanwhile, granted him protection from arrest and asked him to join the investigation into an extortion case against him. Singh's statement is in contrast with media reports that claimed he had left India and was absconding.
