CBI court reserves order on Anil Deshmukh’s bail plea

The Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Thursday completed the hearing of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and reserved the order for today in connection with the Rs.100 crore extortion case.

On 11 October, the Supreme Court refused to cancel the bail granted to the former home minister in the money laundering case lodged against him by Enforcement Directorate (ED).

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud refused to interfere with the Bombay High Court order which granted bail to Deshmukh on 4th October.

He has been accused of asking policemen to collect Rs.100 crores illegally for him every month from bar owners in Mumbai. ED has approached the apex court challenging the Bombay High Court’s order granting bail to Deshmukh.

Deshmukh continues to be in judicial custody at Arthur Road prison. 

The corruption case is also being investigated by the CBI. According to the ED, Deshmukh had misused his position as state home minister and collected Rs 4.70 crore from various bars in Mumbai through some police officers.
