While former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh is lodged in the Arthtur Road jail in Mumbai, Sachin Waze is at Taloja Jail in Navi Mumbai.
Two special courts in Mumbai on Friday granted CBI the custody of former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, his two aides and dismissed police officer Sachin Waze for investigation in a corruption case registered against them.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Mr Deshmukh (71) and his aides Sanjeev Palande and Kundan Shinde are currently in judicial custody in a money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). They are lodged in the Arthtur Road jail in the city.
The Central Bureau of Investigation had filed an application before additional sessions judge D P Singhade for their custody.
The judge on Thursday issued a letter of request to the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court, which hears ED cases, to transfer Mr Deshmukh and the other two to the custody of the CBI.
