Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh Sunday said he had asked CM Uddhav Thackeray to initiate an inquiry into the allegations, adding the truth will come out.
In his column in Saamna, Raut asked how the Maharashtra home minister wasn't aware of the fact that a junior officer like Sachin Waze was running a (money) collection racket.
Singh said in his plea before the High Court that Deshmukh held meetings at his residence with several Mumbai police officials, including Sachin Waze, in February this year.
Terming the situation in Maharashtra as 'serious', MoS for Social Justice Athawale said there should be a probe against state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
Judicial probe will look into allegations in Param Bir Singh's letter, WhatsApp chats & texts he has referred to, officers mentioned in it will be questioned, said a minister.
SC bench led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul also said though ex-Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh's allegations are important, they came only after he & Deshmukh 'fell apart'.
Deshmukh met the Maharashtra CM Tuesday evening. In a video message, he also said he was 'extremely disturbed by the slander' in the media aimed at 'maligning' his image.
Described as a soft-spoken leader, Anil Deshmukh is a 5-time MLA from Katol in Vidarbha’s Nagpur district who was seen within NCP as an unlikely pick as home minister.
Pakistan failed to understand the fiercely independent psyche of the Afghans and Pashtun nationalism, which has dominated politics in Afghanistan since its emergence in 1747.
Tajikistan did not want to extend the lease because of apparent pressure from Russia & China over non-regional military personnel at the air base, it is learnt.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
No probe will be reliable as long as this thug stays in power. The exercise is a hogwash.
