"Vague" Corruption Claims To Divert Ambani Security Probe: Sharad Pawar

Former Mumbai top cop Param Bir Singh's allegations against home minister Anil Desmukh are just meant to remove attention from the investigation into the Mukesh Ambani security scare case, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said today. Mr Singh's corruption allegations against the home minister have landed the Uddhav Thackeray-led state government into a huge controversy since last week. Mr Pawar had questioned the officer's motives yesterday, pointing out that he had made the allegations only after being moved out from the top post over the lapses in the investigation into the Ambani bomb scare case.
