encounter specialist’ Daya Nayak

Famed ‘encounter specialist’ Daya Nayak, who has 83 encounter killings to his credit, was reinstated by

the Maharashtra government on Monday.
Nayak was suspended in July 2015 for not reporting to duty and being on sick leave for a very long time. He was posted in Nagpur area at that time.
The 1995 batch police officer had been suspended before in January 2006 after a Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court ordered the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) to conduct an inquiry into his wealth.
Here’s all you need to know about Nayak and four other encounter specialists of Mumbai Police:
Daya Nayak: 1995 batch
Age: 48
Encounters: 83, including that of Chhota Rajan’s gang members
Current status: Reinstated
Allegations against Nayak’s disproportionate assets had started as early as January 2002 when he inaugurated his Radhabhai Nayak School in Yennehole village at Karkala in Karnataka. A departmental inquiry, however, cleared Nayak of all allegations.
A disproportionate assets case was filed against Nayak in January 2003. He was investigated by the MCOCA court for links with the underworld but was given clean chit after several inquiries in 2004.
In 2006, Nayak was arrested by the anti-corruption bureau after a sessions court issued a non-bailable warrant against him for amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income. After his arrest and interrogation, the list of properties that Nayak allegedly owned came to light. It included, among others, a swank penthouse in Yug Dharma apartments in Mumbai’s Malad. He was suspended as well.
The ACB inquiry in 2006 led to Nayak’s arrest after a court rejected his anticipatory bail. But, in October 2009, the then DGP, SS Virk, denied permission to prosecute Nayak, citing insufficient grounds.
The Supreme Court quashed all the charges against him under the MCOCA in 2010 and he was reinstated only in 2012 at the additional commissioner of police (west) control room.
After being out of the force for nearly six-and-a-half years, Nayak was reinstated and transferred to the west region (Bandra to Andheri) of the city which is considered as a ‘high-profile’ zone in the police department. Since then, Nayak maintained a low profile.
