Further investigation of the matter is on. On the other hand, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh for the third time. He has been asked to appear in the ED office on July 5, but to avoid ED action, Anil Deshmukh has gone to the Supreme Court.
Anil Deshmukh was summoned twice before. First, he expressed his inability for questioning citing age, illness and corona. After this he had asked for 7 days deferment. This deferment is ending on Monday i.e. July 5 and hence the ED summoned him on Saturday and ordered him to remain present on Monday.
