Later, he was transferred to Zone-II to reign in the Arun Gawli gang which had started flexing its muscle. Singh stormed into the Gawli’s headquarters in Dagdi Chawl and was able to clips the wings ofgang.

The DCP (SOS), heading the team of specially trained commandoes, is a new post. "No other officer in the city can do the job in a way Param (Singh) can. He is an expert to dhoom dhadam," said a top-level officer in the police headquarter.
