ED questions Anil Deshmukh's personal secretary in money laundering case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is probing an alleged money laundering case against former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh, questioned his personal secretary Sanjeev Palande.

Sources said that ED officials found money trail of Rs 4 crore that was extorted from around dozen bar owners and was collected by Assistant Inspector Sachin Vaze over a few months. This money was allegedly diverted to Deshmukh through some shell companies located outside Maharashtra. The company was owned by a close relative of Deshmukh.
