ED alleges Kundan Shinde, Sanjeev Palande were 'vital cogs' running Anil Deshmukh's operations

The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that Anil Deshmukh's close aides Kundan Shinde and Sanjeev Palande were "important clogs" running his operations.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday said Kundan Shinde and Sanjeev Palande are "important cogs" in the wheels of the operations run by former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who is facing charges of running a multi-crore bribery-cum-extortion racket. Shinde and Palande are close aides of Anil Deshmukh. While Shinde is his personal assistant, Palande is his personal secretary.
