Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday registered a first information report (FIR) against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and others in connection with allegations made by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.
CBI is also conducting searches at various places in connection with the case.
Deshmukh had resigned from his post after the Bombay High Court directed the CBI to initiate an inquiry within 15 days into the allegations levelled against him by former Mumbai Police commissioner Param Bir Singh.
The court also directed the agency to register an FIR if any cognisable offence is found. Deshmukh had filed the Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the apex court, challenging Bombay High Court`s April 5 order.
