ED arrests Maharashtra ex-Minister Anil Deshmukh in money laundering case

Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate late last night after over 12 hours of questioning at its office at Ballard Estate.

He had appeared before the agency to record his statement around noon three days after the Bombay High Court rejected his plea to cancel the agency’s summons in the laundering case filed against him.

Deshmukh, who had stepped down earlier this year from his post amid a row over bribery allegations against him, was refused relief by the Bombay High Court on Friday as he appealed for the cancellation of the summons by the probe agency.
