Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule has vehemently denied Deshmukh's claims, questioning why the former home minister did not take immediate action if he felt pressured.
Deshmukh on Wednesday was released from Arthur Road jail in Mumbai. He was released after formalities for his release were completed and sureties furnished.
He was released after formalities for his release were completed and sureties furnished. His advocate Aniket Nikam said CBI had moved another application yesterday for extension of stay on order granting him bail.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the Bombay High Court order granting bail to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in a money laundering case.
A bench of the Supreme Court granted liberty to the petitioner, Anil Deshmukh, to file an application seeking an early hearing in his bail plea pending before the Bombay High Court.
The 'lookout' circular will effectively prevent Deshmukh from fleeing the country since he has skipped at least five ED summons to join the probe.
The top court emphasized that CBI has to investigate all aspects of the allegations and it cannot be limited. It further added that this will be like denuding the powers of a constitutional court.
The development comes a day after the Supreme Court refused interim protection to the 71-year-old NCP politician from any coercive action by the federal agency.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached assets under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) belonging to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and his family.
