Param Bir Singh is a 1988 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who served as Police Commissioner of Mumbai, from 29 February 2020 until his removal on 18 March 2021.[1] Param Bir Singh succeeded Sanjay Barve as police commissioner. He was previously posted as the Director General (DG) of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). He is a former Police Commissioner of Thane.[2][3] The Maharashtra government removed Singh as commissioner on 18 March 2021 in the aftermath of a security incident in which sticks of gelignite were discovered outside of Antilia, the home of business tycoon Mukesh Ambani.[1]Param Bir was succeeded by Hemant Nagrale as Police Commissioner of Mumbai.[4]

After he was removed from his post of Mumbai Police Commissioner, Singh claimed in a detailed letter to the Maharashtra Chief Minister, that Vaze was involved in a scheme to collect ₹100 crore from businesses in Mumbai per month as demanded by the Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh.[5][6] Deshmukh's office denied the claim and stated that Param Bir Singh made false allegations against him to save himself from legal action.[7][8] Devendra Fadnavis claimed that Vaze and Param Bir Singh were just pawns in the hands of the current Maha Vikas Aghadi (a coalition of NCP, Shiv Sena and Indian National Congress) state government.[9] Param Bir Singh moved to Supreme Court of India for appealing against Maharashtra's Home Minister Anil Deshmukh demanding a probe regarding his role in corruption[10]
