The Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued a lookout notice against Mr. Anil Deshmukh, the former Home Minister of Maharashtra.
According to sources, on the 6th of September, the ED issued a notice related to a money laundering case. 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. 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, 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 CBI appearing.
The look out notice issued today, Monday is said to stop Mr. Anil Deshmukh from fleeing the country. With the ED lookout notice, the NCP leader cannot leave the country. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court (SC) refused to accept the petition filed by Mr. Deshmukh to quash the CBI Summons and demanded relief from the issued notice.
Recently, Mr. Anil Deshmukh had to resign from his Cabinet ministry post (the Home Minister of Maharashtra) due to the ongoing case.
