  • Daya Nayak is a sub-inspector with the Mumbai police force. He is currently awaiting reinstation following a suspension order based on allegations of disproportionate income by an underworld criminal. He rose to fame for having eliminated more than eighty gangsters of the Mumbai underworld as a member of the Mumbai Encounter Squad, which was created by the Maharashtra Government for tackling the increasing problems of underworld extortion, gangwars, and a terrible law and order situation. In February 2006, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of the Mumbai Police declared Nayak absconding; when he voluntarily surrendered at the court, they arrested him on a non-bailable warrant merely on the basis of an FIR filed by an ex-criminal, and confined Nayak for 60 days without filing a chargesheet. Despite multiple raids and an intensive investigation, the ACB could not find any evidence against Nayak as possessing any assets disproportionate to his income. In 2008, a court threw out the ACB's demands for a re-arrest and condemned the ACB for targeting and vilifying a police officer without proof. In the absence of any evidence or even a chargesheet, Nayak remains suspended even today; he is now awaiting reinstatement as subinspector.
