The FIR registered against Singh under the Atrocities Act is based on a complaint filed by Police Inspector Ghadge. Ghadge is currently posted in Akola, Maharashtra. Ghadge has leveled several corruption charges against Singh and other officials.
Ghadge has alleged in the FIR that when Singh was posted in Thane, he pressurized him to remove the names of some people from a case and when he refused, the IPS officer implicated him in false cases. The FIR has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
