Ex-Maharashtra Min Anil Deshmukh Booked For Money Laundering By ED

Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has been booked by the Enforcement Directorate for money laundering on the basis of the FIR filed by the CBI. Earlier, the CBI, under a "cognisable offence" argument, had accused Deshmukh of "improper and dishonest performance of their public duty". Besides allegations of corruption, Deshmukh was also accused of influencing transfer and posting of police officials by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.
