An FIR filed against the former Mumbai police commissioner last week alleged that he demanded Rs 15 crore from a builder for withdrawing the cases registered against him.
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.
According to officials, during NIA's investigation in the Ambani-SUV case, Rs 1.5 crore were found in a bank account of a firm floated by dismissed Mumbai police cop Sachin Waze.
Param Bir Singh was shifted from Mumbai police commissioner's post to the Home Guards dept amid the controversy over Waze's alleged involvement in Ambani-SUV case.
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.
Waze, in jail since his arrest in Antilla bomb scare case, was previously suspended in a case related to death of an accused in 2002 Ghatkopar bomb blast.
Qazi, an assistant police inspector, was arrested by NIA on 11 April and is alleged to be involved in the conspiracy of the case, along with Sachin Waze, who is the prime accused.
NIA suspects that by eliminating two persons, Sachin Waze planned to claim to have solved the case of the explosives-laden SUV and earn praise, but the plan did not work out.

In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
