Truth Behind ‘Political Conspiracy’ Will Come Out: NCP, Shiv Sena On CBI Action Against Anil Deshmukh

Mumbai: After CBI conducted searches at the premises of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, the NCP said nobody was above the law but added that the truth behind the “political conspiracy” against him and the state government would come out.

Talking to reporters, NCP spokesman and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik said, “Nobody is above the law. Anil Deshmukh is cooperating with agencies.”

He said he was not aware of any FIR has been registered against Deshmukh.

Malik said the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is yet to reveal whether suspended police officer Sachin Waze was working when he planted the explosives outside the home of industrialist Mukesh Ambani.

He said, “What was the role of the former Commissioner of Mumbai Police (Param Bir Singh). All these actions are being done on the basis of the letter of the former Commissioner.”

He said this is nothing but misuse of power to discredit the state government and Anil Deshmukh. We have full faith in the judiciary and know that the truth behind the political conspiracy will be revealed through investigation.

The CBI on Saturday conducted searches in the premises of Mumbai and his hometown Nagpur after registering a case against him on charges of corruption levelled against Parambir Singh.

NCP leader Deshmukh resigned as a minister earlier this month after the High Court asked the CBI to investigate the allegations against him.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut also said that no one is above the law.

He said, “It is not correct to comment on the CBI’s action. Anil Deshmukh has already given his statement in the case. The CBI is doing its work, similarly, the High Court and the Maha Vikas Samiti (MVA) government are doing their work.”

“If there is a political agenda in the case against Anil Deshmukh, then the MVA government will take a stand. Hope the action against Deshmukh is restricted to directives of the high court,” he said.

On March 25, Param Bir Singh had filed criminal public interest litigation seeking a CBI probe against Deshmukh, who, he claimed, had asked police officers, including suspended cop Sachin Waze, to extort ₹100 crores from bars and restaurants.

The Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress share power in Maharashtra.
