Mumbai: The encounter specialist, Police sub-inspector Daya Nayak has returned to the Maharashtra state police department after almost a year after he was suspended.
The Encounter specialist Nayak’s suspension was cancelled after a senior police officer on Monday said on condition of anonymity.
Nayak, who reportedly killed over 80 gangsters in encounters, including Vinod Matkar, Rafik Dabba, Sadik Kalia and three Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives was suspended in June 2015 for not joining duty and being on sick leave for a very long time. At that time his posting was in Nagpur area.
A 1995-batch police officer, Nayak was under suspension for nearly six-and-a-half years after the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested him in 2006 following complaints by former journalist Ketan Tirodkar that he owned assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
