They were arrested and remanded in custody on July 26. So far, the special PMLA court in Mumbai has refused to grant him relief, and Deshmukh will remain in the Arthur Road Jail until at least January 11.
The ED has already conducted multiple raids in Mumbai and Nagpur on premises associated with the NCP MLA. Furthermore, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, it has provisionally attached immovable assets worth Rs.4.2 crore belonging to him and his family members.
Notably on February 20, former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh charged Anil Deshmukh with extortion. Singh claimed in a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray that the NCP leader had asked Sachin Vaze to extort Rs.100 crore per month from 1750 Mumbai bars, restaurants, and other establishments.
After the HC directed the CBI to carry out a preliminary enquiry into these allegations, Deshmukh resigned as the Home Minister and was replaced by Dilip Walse Patil.
