The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken the custody of ex-Maharashtra Minister Mr. Anil Deshmukh in the corruption charges.
Initially, he was remanded under the Mumbai Police’s custody in Arthur Road Jail, but the CBI filed a petition seeking Deshmukh’s custody. It is to be noted, the custody has been given in the corruption charges filed by the former Mumbai Commissioner Mr. Param Bir Singh.
In regard to this, the former Maharashtra Minister Mr. Anil Deshmukh has moved the HC, challenging the plea, which was scheduled to be heard today, has now been rejected.
Notably, during the time of being the Maharashtra Home Minister, Mr. Anil Deshmukh allegedly misused his power and laundered money. It is to be noted, the leader collected Rs. 4.70 crores from various bars and restaurants in Mumbai and laundered it to the Nagpur based Shri Sai Shikshan Sansthan, an educational trust controlled by Mr. Anil Deshmukh’s family. The former Mumbai Police Commissioner Mr. Param Bir Singh had levelled the charge. Besides money laundering, he has been alleged in a corruption case of Rs. 100 crores. However, the former Maharashtra Home Minister denied the allegations and said it to be a trap of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against him.
On the 21st of April, 2021 the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a first information report (FIR) against the National Congress Party (NCP) leader Mr. Anil Deshmukh. The investigation is underway, with several summon notices and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) appearing.
