Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate has arrested former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh after over 12 hours of interrogation in connection with a money laundering case at its Mumbai office.
Deshmukh had stepped down earlier this year amid a row over bribery allegations against him. Bombay High Court refused him relief on Friday after he appealed for the probe agency’s summons to be cancelled.
The 71-year-old NCP leader in a video statement on Monday had said: “All allegations against me are false.”
Deshmukh was accused of corruption and extortion by former Mumbai top cop Param Bir Singh.
Deshmukh slammed the former top cop on Monday. “Where is Param Bir Singh, who made allegations against me? Today the officers of Param Bir Singh’s own department and several businessmen have filed their complaints against him,” Deshmukh had said.
The CBI made the first arrest in the bribery case linked to the former minister On Sunday.
