New Delhi (13.03.2022): The CBI has questioned Mumbai Commissioner of PoliceSanjay Pandey in connection with its corruption probe against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
Pandey was questioned by the CBI for over six hours over allegations that he had tried to influence the complainant in the case. In an affidavit to the Supreme Court in November last year, former Mumbai CP Parambir Singh had alleged that Pandey asked him on April 16, 2021, to withdraw his complaint against Deshmukh.
The CBI is probing Deshmukh on the Mumbai High Court’s directions after Singh accused the minister of corruption. A CBI official said that Singh’s allegation against Pandey was “serious”. “The Mumbai CP has been questioned in this context. If need be, he may be questioned again,” a CBI official said.
The CBI had registered an FIR against Deshmukh in April last year after Singh’s submission to the high court in connection with a petition that Deshmukh had directed that Rs 100 crore be collected as bribes from Mumbai’s bars.
