Mumbai: Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik and ex-Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh have not done anything but are “stuck” in jail, NCP MP Supriya Sule said adding 109 times raids by central agencies on the Deshmukh family should make it to Limca Book of Records.
“Our two leaders – Nawab Malik and Anil Deshmukh – who didn’t do anything are stuck in jail. 109 times raids on the Deshmukh family should make it to Limca Book of Records… Today or tomorrow, the court will give them a clean chit. Whoever speaks against the Centre is raided, news agency ANI quoted Sule as saying.

Sule’s remarks came after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) sought time to file a reply on the applications of Malik and Deshmukh, seeking permission to vote in the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections in Maharashtra.
The ED has to file its reply in this matter by Tuesday and the next date of hearing will be Wednesday.
Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had on Friday moved a special court in Mumbai for one-day bail to cast his vote in the elections. The plea comes a day after the former minister and two of his associates were named in a charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a corruption case.
The 72-year-old Nationalist Congress Party leader was arrested by the ED in November last year on money laundering charges against him.
Deshmukh, his personal assistant Kundan Shinde and private secretary Sanjeev Palande are currently lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail in a money laundering case being probed by the ED.
The CBI in its statement had said that during the preliminary inquiry, it was found that the accused and his two aides attempted to “obtain undue advantage for the improper and dishonest performance of their public duties”.
The probe agency also accused the trio of exercising undue influence over the transfers and postings of police officers.
