The judicial custody of Mr. Anil Deshmukh, the former Minister of Maharashtra, has been extended for the next 14 days.
On the 29th of April, Friday, a special Prevention Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Mr. Anil Deshmukh to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI.) It is to be noted, that the CBI has taken the custody of ex Maharashtra Minister Mr. Anil Deshmukh citing corruption charges. Initially, Mr. Anil Deshmukh was remanded under the Mumbai Police’s custody in Arthur Road Jail, but the CBI filed a petition seeking Mr. Deshmukh’s custody. The corruption charges were filed by the former Mumbai Commissioner Mr. Param Bir Singh. In regard to this, the former Maharashtra Minister Mr. AnilDeshmukh has moved the HC, challenging the plea which was rejected earlier.
Notably, during his time as the Maharashtra Home Minister, Mr. Anil Deshmukh allegedly misused his power and laundered money. It is to be noted that 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. Besides money laundering, he has been accused in a corruption case of Rs. 100 crores. However, the former Maharashtra Home Minister denied the allegations and said it to be a scheme by 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. Furthermore, the CBI investigation in this matter is underway
