Mumbai: The Directorate of Enforcement has summoned the former Minister of State House Anil Deshmukh Aarti to be questioned in connection with money laundering cases.
Aarti Dishmukh was told to join an investigation on Wednesday.
Ed was in the past, calling Anil Deshmukh and their son Hrishikesh Deshmukh.
However, Advocates Kamlesh Ghumre, said that Aarti Deshmukh has communicated with Ed that since he was around 66 years old and suffered from various diseases, he could not be directly.
“He has sent a letter stating that he will work with investigations and join through video conferencing.
He will send whatever documents needed,” Ghumre said.
The lawyer also said that Aarti Deshmukh was a housewife and had no connection with this case.
Ed looks for details about the refund of Aarti Deshmukh’s income tax, source of income, and negotiations.
The source said that Aarti Dishmukh had a financial connection in several companies under the scanner ed.
In May, Ed registered money laundering cases against Anil Deshmukh and others.
Last month, the Investigation Agency arrested the Private Secretary of Deshmukh Sanjeev Palande (51), and Kundan Shinde’s personal assistant (45).
They are currently in court detention.
Former Police Commissioner Mumbai Param Bir Singh has written a letter to the minister’s chairman who accused Anil Deshmukh demanding RS 100 crore bribery from Rasansed API Sachin Waze, DCP Raju Bhujbal, and ACP Sanjay Patil.
In April, the CBI registered a corruption case against Deshmukh after conducting an investigation directed by the Bombay High Court.
