Mumbai: The Maharashtra government has given its permission to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to conduct an open inquiry into the allegations of corruption against former...
The court was hearing a petition filed by Deshmukh seeking quashing of the FIR registered by CBI on 24 April against him on charges of corruption and misuse of official position.
Deshmukh submitted a letter to the agency in compliance with the summons. He also requested a copy of the Enforcement Case Information Report from the ED.
The ED's claims are related to money laundering in an alleged multi-crore bribery-cum-extortion racket that led to Deshmukh's resignation as Maharashtra Home Minister in April.
Officials said Deshmukh's personal secretary Sanjeev Palande & personal assistant Kundan Shinde have been arrested under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The raids were carried out under provisions of PMLA following ED's registration of a criminal case against former Maharashtra home minister Deshmukh last month.
Ex-state home minister Deshmukh is facing allegations of corruption & misconduct first levelled by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh, in the aftermath of the Sachin Waze case.
The state has moved the high court alleging that some portions of the FIR registered by CBI against Deshmukh were intended to destabilize the Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP govt.
The court dismissed Singh's plea seeking transfer of inquiries against him outside Maharashtra & termed it shocking that the former commissioner showed distrust in the police.
