Corruption and extortion cases were registered against the NCP leader. The cases were registered as former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh revealed that, Anil Deshmukh allegedly instructed suspended police officer Sachin Vaze and a few others to extract Rs 100 crore for him every month by targeting pubs and restaurants.
Following Parambir Singh’s claims, petitions were filed in the Bombay High Court, requesting that Anil Deshmukh be charged. The Bombay court then asked the CBI to conduct a preliminary investigation and an FIR was registered. ED launched investigation against him after CBI.
