Maharashtra Ex Home Minister Anil Deshmukh's Bail Put On Hold Within Minutes

Sanjay Raut, senior leader of the Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray faction who was granted bail last month, had claimed he saw Anil Deshmukh in jail, and he wasn't in good health.
Moments after the Bombay High Court today granted bail to Maharashtra's former Home Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader Anil Deshmukh in a corruption and abuse of power case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, it was stayed for 10 days as the CBI has said it will go to the Supreme Court.
Mr Deshmukh, 71, had first sought bail in the case as soon as the Bombay High Court granted him bail on October 4 in a money laundering case registered against him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), but a special court had rejected his application.
The NCP leader was arrested on November 2, 2021, and has been in judicial custody. He was admitted to a private hospital in October for coronary angiography.
In March 2021, senior IPS officer Param Bir Singh had alleged that Mr Deshmukh, the then Home Minister, had given a target to police officers to collect Rs 100 crore per month from restaurants and bars in Mumbai.
