Mumbai| The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case of money laundering against former Maharashtra Home Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Anil Deshmukh for alleged corruption and misuse of office case. A money laundering case has been registered against Deshmukh under the PMLA, a senior Enforcement Directorate official associated with the investigation told.
The ED’s action comes nearly a fortnight after the CBI filed a case on April 24 on charges of misuse of office and corruption.
The CBI on 6 April asked the agency to investigate allegations of bribery and misuse of office by the Bombay High Court.
Soon after the verdict, Deshmukh stepped down from his post.
The CBI searched the premises associated with Deshmukh and had recorded his statement earlier as well.
