Mumbai: Minister of Shiv Sena Anil Parib appeared in front of the official Enforcement Directorate (ED) to record a statement in the money laundering case connected with the former Minister of State House Anil Deshmukh.

I further stated that I knew about the total number of Rs 40 Crore had been collected from police officers registered in The command and where RS 20 Crore each was given to Deshmukh through Sanjeev Palande and Parab through Bajrang Kharmate, (representative of RTO).
“Puriab’s name was not mentioned in the registered CBI FIR after the Introduction (PE) investigation was carried out in the direction of the Bombay High Court .
The court ordered PE after the petition was submitted before demanding the CBI investigation on charges made by former Police Commissioner Mumbai Param Singh where he accused Deshmukh, then the Minister of Home Affairs, had told police officers Sachin Waze to collect Rs 100 Crore from the bar owner at City illegally every month for him.
Ed has registered money laundering cases based on FIR CBI against Deshmukh.
