Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh sent a letter to Enforcement Directorate (ED) claiming that the ongoing investigation against him is not transparent while the agency has sent a summons to the politician in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to a purported bribery racket operated through dismissed Mumbai Police officer Sachin Vaze.
According to the reports, the Former Maharastra Home Minister has sent the letter to the Assistant Director of the agency and the ED has asked the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to appear before it on July 5.
The report further added Deshmukh had moved the Supreme Court on Sunday seeking protection from any coercive action in the case. In the letter, he quoted – “A series of events has given rise to apprehensions in my mind that neither procedure of law is being followed nor any objective investigations are being carried out. Therefore, I’m approaching Hon’ble Court to ensure that probe is within the ambit of the procedure established by law.”
On June 25, the ED had raided Deshmukh’s residences in Nagpur and Mumbai. Raids were conducted at five other places. While Deshmukh has denied all the allegations against him and claimed that he is cooperating with ED.
