Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis calls for Anil Deshmukh resignation after Param Bir Singh’s extortion claim.
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and BJP chief Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday demanded the resignation of Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh after ex-Mumbai top cop levelled extortion allegations towards him.
Targeting the Maha Vikas Aghadi authorities, Fadnavis mentioned, “We demand Home Minister’s resignation. If he doesn’t then CM must remove him. An impartial probe must be conducted… letter also states that CM was intimated about this earlier so why didn’t he act on it?”
In a sensational twist to the SUV case, former Mumbai Commissioner of Police Param Bir Singh hit out at Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh by just about alleging that the minister needed his staff member, arrested cop Sachin Vaze, to ‘acquire’ Rs 100 crore per thirty days from bars and hookah parlours.
Taking sturdy umbrage at Deshmukh’s remarks that Singh’s switch as Commandant-General of Maharashtra Home Guards was not for administrative functions however for “unpardonable lapses” by his staff, the ex-Mumbai top cop shot off an eight-page missive to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, saying he was made a “scapegoat” for “extraneous and vindictive reasons”.
Hitting again at Singh, Deshmukh tweeted that the ex-Mumbai police chief was leveling false allegations towards him to save lots of himself from motion within the SUV case and the case associated to the dying of Mansukh Hiran.
“The former Commissioner of Police, Parambir Singh has made false allegations in order to save himself as the involvement of Sachin Waze in Mukesh Ambani & Mansukh Hiren’s case is becoming clearer from the investigation carried out so far & threads are leading to Mr. Singh as well,” Deshmukh tweeted.
