The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on December 29 filed a supplementary charge sheet against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in connection with a money laundering case.
The probe agency filed the 7,000-page charge sheet, which also names Mr. Deshmukh’s sons as accused in the case, before a special court in Mumbai assigned to hear matters related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The ED had earlier filed a charge sheet against 14 accused, including Mr. Deshmukh’s private secretary (an additional collector-rank officer) Sanjeev Palande and personal assistant Kundan Shinde.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
