ED raids Anil Deshmukh's residence in Nagpur, Mumbai in money laundering case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) early Friday searched former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh's residence in Nagpur and four other locations in Mumbai in connection with a money laundering case. These include Deshmukh's two residences in Mumbai's Malabar Hill and Worli.

It is uncertain whether Deshmukh was present at any of his residences when the search was conducted.

This comes a day after the ED recorded the statement of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Raju Bhujbal in the case. Bhujbal is presently the in-charge of the enforcement wing of Mumbai Police and has the social service branch under his jurisdiction. The social service branch conducts checks and raids on pubs, hookah parlours, dance bars, bars, and restaurants.
