The developments over processing city police chief Dr Satyapal Singh’s resignation at Mantralaya on Friday were enough to draw a conclusion that the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) was keen to relieve the officer at the earliest.

Sources say Satyapal Singh is likely to contest elections from Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, where he will be up against Union Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh. Pic/Bipin Kokate
