Even as the case has taken a political turn after the IPS officer Vinay Tiwari was quarantined, the city's top cop has defended the move. Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh on Monday has justified the move by terming it as 'precautionary measure' as per COVID-19 control norms for those traveling by air. 

"COVID-19 cases in Mumbai are coming under control after a lot of hard work, therefore precautionary measures are being taken. Anybody who travels by air excluding those who will return in a fixed time period, have to undergo home-quarantine necessarily. So the BMC must have taken action based on its rules and they will address this issue," said Param Bir Singh on Monday evening. 

Moreover, Singh has also denied allegations that Bihar Police not getting due co-operation from Mumbai counterparts, including the allegations that vehicles are not being provided for travel. Singh said that the Patna team has been given a car by the DG office and accommodation facilities have been made in Goregaon. However, there are a number of discrepancies in the probe of the Mumbai Police despite insistence that it has been carried out in a professional manner.
