Money laundering case: Mumbai court summons Anil Deshmukh

A Mumbai court has summoned former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in the extortion case after the ED filed the complaint stating that he skipped five summons.

The ED had filed the plea before the metropolitan court last week, seeking action against Deshmukh under IPC section 174 (non-attendance in obedience to an order from public servant) for failing to appear before it despite being summoned multiple times in a money laundering case.
