Mumbai: Special Holiday Court on Tuesday transferred the former Minister of State Anil Deshmukh in enforcement of custody (ED) enforcement until November 6 in the case of money laundering.
He was produced before the court and the argument about the disposal of the application began at 12:30 a.m., with ASG Anil Singh looking for detention 14 days.
Deshmukh was arrested shortly after midnight, hours after he arrived at the ed office to record his statement around noon on Monday.
Ed in his first Chargesheet accused Deshmukh, through PA Kundan Shinde, has collected Rs 4.7 Crore from the assistant police assistant who was dismissed, Sachin Inspector in cash.
Waze then led the Ciu branch from Mumbai police and had raised money from the owner of the Mumbai orchestra bar illegally for Deshmukh.
From the money, Rs 4.18 Crore was transferred to education trust based in Deshmukh through a Shell company with the help of Hawala operators based in Delhi Surendra Jain and Virendra Jain, showing it as a donation.
After Deshmukh appeared before Ed, his team released a video message that had been recorded before.
In it, Deshmukh said former Police Commissioner Mumbai Param Bir Singh made a false accusation against him and has now left the country.
In that video, Deshmukh said, “I received the calling of ED, and the media incorrectly reported that I did not work with the investigation.
Every time after Ed called them, I answered to those who expressed my request to wait before the High Court and the Supreme Court, After the results I will be present before Ed.
I, my family and our staff worked together with ED during an investigation.
Previously, on the CBI call, I went and gave my statement.
“In July, Ed had an attached asset worth Rs 4.2 Crore ( Buy value) in this case.
It includes a flat worth Rs 1.5 Crore in Worli on behalf of Deshmukh Aarti’s wife and 25 parcels of land in the water company, main port link Pvt Ltd.
The current market value of the land of Uran is a few hundred crores.
Previously, Deshmukh approached the APEX court for protection from the arrest in the ED case, but SC refused to give him temporary help.
The money laundering case was based on the CBI FIR where Singh was accused that then the Minister of State House (Deshmukh) had asked Waze to collect Rs 100 Crore from bar owners every month.
The CBI also looked for the former Head of the State Intelligence Department Rashmi Shukla where the allegations of the influential people promised the desired post and transfer of police officers.
On Sunday, the CBI arrested residents of Thane, Santosh Jagtap, in case they investigated.
He was returned in CBI custody until 4.
