ED screws up, fifth summons issued to Anil Deshmukh, ordered to appear on Wednesday

  • The ED has once again issued summons against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in the ongoing money laundering case.
  • The ED has ordered Anil Deshmukh to appear on Wednesday. A similar notice has also been sent to his son Rishikesh.
  • This action has been taken by the ED after the Supreme Court dismissed the petition of Anil Deshmukh.
  • Actually, Anil Deshmukh had filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding no coercive action due to illness, but the Supreme Court did not give him relief.
  • However, the three-member bench has said that Anil Deshmukh is free to appeal. Law experts say that Anil Deshmukh can approach the High Court for anticipatory bail.
