Anil Deshmukh, former Home Minister of Maharashtra, had been accused of asking policemen to collect Rs 100 crores illegally for him every month from bar owners in Mumbai. He had filed a bail plea in front of CBI court earlier in October.
Anil Deshmukh was arrested by the ED in November last year, while the CBI took him in custody a year later. Deshmukh was granted bail by the Bombay High Court recently.
A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday rejected the bail pleas of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and his personal assistant Sanjeev Palande.
