Money laundering case: Anil Deshmukh skips ED summon again, says probe not transparent

After moving the Supreme Court for protection against coercive action by the Enforcement Directorate, the embattled former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh skipped an ED summons for the third time in a week.

Anil Deshmukh, the senior leader of the NCP, this time, accused the central probe agency of not being transparent in its probe.

In an 8-page letter to the Enforcement Directorate, Deshmukh said a series of events have given rise to a apprehension that neither the procedure of law is being followed nor any transparent investigations are being carried out.

Deshmukh said that he has moved a petition in the Supreme Court and asked the ED to wait until its outcome.

The ED began probe into the alleged money-laundering case after a complaint by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.
