In a breaking news development, CBI has arrested Anil Deshmukh. He has been arrested on grounds of corruption cases registered against him. Just a few hours back, CBI had taken custody of Deshmukh’s personal assistant Kundan Shinde and secretary Sanjeev Palande and dismissed assistant police inspector Sachin Vaze.
A few days back, the Bombay HC had refused to hear Anil Deshmukh’s plea. Deshmukh challenged the Special CBI court’s order that allowed CBI’s application to seek his custody in connection with an alleged corruption case. Justice Dere directed that the plea be placed before another bench.
The Bombay HC has also rejected anticipatory bail pleas of two accused in the CBI case. The phones of these two people were tapped by IPS officer Rashmi Shukla who, according to her report, was part of the illegal transformer posting case. The anticipatory bail applications were earlier rejected by the Mumbai sessions court as well.
