Former Mumbai police commissioner R S Sharma is the highest ranking officer to be arrested so far. The SIT says he did not maintain absolute integrity in the investigation into the scam. Even at the time of his appointment, Sharma was plagued with allegations of bribing his way to the top post.

Retired ACP M C Mulani (small pic, left) reportedly demanded a bribe from Telgi. Despite knowing this, Sharma let him continue in the team investigating the scam.

IGP Sridhar Vagal (small pic, right) is the second highest ranking officer to be arrested. Among other things, he reportedly allowed Telgi a free rein even when he was in police custody. At that time, Vagal was working under Sharma in Mumbai.
