Maharashtra Home Department elevates ranks of Senior Inspectors
In a new development, the Maharashtra Home Department has elevated encounter specialist Daya Nayak to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.
Other Senior inspectors elevated to ACP rank are Jivan Kharat, Deepak Dalvi and Pandurang Pawar.
Daya Nayak, who joined Mumbai Police in 1995 at present posted at the Bandra unit of the crime branch, catapulted to fame in the 1990s as one of the police officers who gunned down a number of gangsters in ‘encounters’. A film was also made on him.
In 2006, the anti-corruption bureau registered a disproportionate assets case against him, but he was later given a clean chit. Nayak also served in the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and as part of the team solved the case of the Ambani residence security scare and subsequent murder of Thane businessman Mansukh Hiren in 2021.
