Enforcement Directorate had issued multiple summonses to Anil Deshmukh in the money laundering case registered against him.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has moved a court here against former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh for failing to appear before the probe agency despite being summoned multiple times in a money laundering case.
The ED filed the plea in a special court yesterday seeking action against Mr Deshmukh under IPC Section 174 (non-attendance in obedience to an order from public servant). The section attracts a simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one month or fine up to five hundred rupees or both.
The probe agency had issued multiple summonses to Mr Deshmukh in the money laundering case registered against him. However, the NCP leader has failed to appear before it so far.
Two of Mr Deshmukh's aides - Sanjeev Palande and Kundan Shinde - have been arrested in the case. They are currently in judicial custody.
