Mumbai police commissioner Satya Pal Singh resigned from the Indian Police Service on Thursday. According to sources, he might join politics. Singh was due for retirement in 2015.
He said he put in his papers to do something big for the nation. He, however, declined to reveal his plans.
According to reports, Singh is likely to join BJP to contest the Lok Sabha election either from Uttar Pradesh or Mumbai. Reports added that Singh had been in talks with party president Rajnath Singh and former party president Nitin Gadkari regarding his chances to contest the Lok Sabha polls as a BJP nominee from Uttar Pradesh.
Other reports claim that Aam Aadmi Party has also approached Singh.
