Among those CBI has booked, former NCB officer who probed Aryan Khan

Later, facing allegations of irregularities in the raid on the ship, including using panchas (witnesses) with prior crime record, a vigilance inquiry was ordered against the NCB’s Mumbai team that was completed in November 2022. Based on the inquiry, departmental action was ordered against seven officers.

Last month, Singh was dismissed from the service. His dismissal was in connection with a 2018 case of Delhi NCB, wherein he was accused of not carrying out the investigation properly. Singh was given the responsibility of probing the financial background of a suspect’s driver, but he failed to do so.
He was transferred from Delhi to Mumbai on March 12, 2020.

But he opposed the transfer and approached the Central Administration Tribunal against his transfer and got relief. This infuriated NCB top functionary, who then transferred him to Mumbai in another transfer lot.

In the 2018 Delhi case, an inquiry was initiated against him by the then top functionaries of NCB. After an inquiry found guilty of misconduct he was sacked from the service last month.

Singh was also the superintendent of NCB Mumbai during other important cases, including the ones involving actor Rhea Chakraborty and comedian Bharti Singh.

He also supervised the probe against and other high-profile drug cases and in many of them, accused and their families have leveled allegations of corruption on Singh and Wankhede.
