'Do you want to save Anil Deshmukh?' Question to Maharashtra govt on reaching SC against CBI probe

  • The Supreme Court has made sharp questions to the Maharashtra govt on reaching the top court against the order of CBI probe against former Maharashtra HM Anil Deshmukh.
  • The Supreme Court said that by opposing the CBI investigation, it appears that the state government is protecting the former minister.
  • The court said that the state should be ready for any investigation for correctness in administration and allow fair investigation.
  • Earlier, the Maharashtra govt had told the Bombay HC that it wanted the state govt to cooperate with the CBI investigation against Anil Deshmukh, but the documents sought by the CBI were irrelevant.
  • The CBI had alleged that the state government was not cooperating in the investigation.
