The Central agency has sought action against former Maharashtra Minister for not appearing before it despite five summonses
A magistrate court on Friday issued process (summons) against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh for not appearing before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) despite it issuing five summonses to him.
The issuance of process is done first to summon the accused and then as a non-bailable warrant. The process issued against Mr. Deshmukh is returnable on November 16, seeking his presence before the court.
