The Enforcement Directorate's request to a Mumbai court to extend former Maharashtra minister Anil Deshmukh's custody with them was denied
Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh who faces money laundering allegations has been sent to a 14-day judicial custody. The Enforcement Directorate's request to a Mumbai court to extend his custody with them for interrogation was denied by the court today.
Following this, the court ordered that Mr Deshmukh be sent to judicial instead of the investigation agency's custody. This also opens the way for Mr Deshmukh's legal team to apply for bail.
Enforcement Directorate sources said the 71-year-old former minister has not been cooperating with them during questioning over allegations that he and his family used some 27 firms to launder tainted money. So the investigation agency had asked the court for more time to interrogate Mr Deshmukh, who was arrested earlier this week.
Mr Deshmukh's son, Hrishikesh, was summoned yesterday in connection with the case but he skipped the call by the agency. Fresh summons will be issued on Monday, sources added.
