CBI registers case against former Maharashtra HM, searches several places


Mumbai, Apr 24 (IANS): Moving ahead in its probe into the allegations of misuse of office and corruption, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday said that it has registered a case against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and several others. The probe agency is carrying out searches at several locations here.

A CBI source related to the probe told IANS, "The CBI has registered an FIR in connection with the corruption allegations against Deshmukh, and searches are underway at various places."

The source said that the agency has named Anil Deshmukh and several others in the FIR.

The source, however, did not reveal about the premises being searched by the CBI.

The CBI registered a preliminary enquiry on April 6 after the Bombay High Court asked the agency to probe the allegations of bribery and misuse of office.

Soon after the ruling, Deshmukh stepped down from his post.

    The Country is painfully aware of how the Central Agencies are being misused to target opposition Leaders and Parties. This is the Ugly face of Modi's Maan Ki Baat and his innocent pretensions behind TV cameras in his repeated addresses to the Nation.Central Government Tax and Enforcement Agencies like Income Tax Dept and Enforcement Directorate have rarely raided BJP Leaders over the last six years. It will be nice to know through the media if any BJP leader has been issued any IT or ED Notice during the last six years. ED or IT departments would have known that large sums of money were transacted for luring of MLAs at the time of toppling of non-BJP governments but have turned a blind eye.

    Law should take its own course. No hurry bhari. If he has done wrong he should be punished and if innocent them CP who has levelled allegations should be prosecuted.
