The court rejected the Enforcement Directorate's demand for an extension of Anil Deshmukh's custody for another nine days
Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze had played a key role in collecting "illegal gratification" from bar owners while in service as directed by then Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh who had asked a private person to hand over a list of bars and orchestra owners in Mumbai to Mr Waze, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) told a special court today.
However, the special holiday court judge PR Sitre rejected the agency's demand for an extension of Anil Deshmukh's custody for another nine days and remanded him in judicial custody for 14 days instead.
Anil Deshmukh was arrested by the ED late Monday night after 12 hours of questioning. A court on Tuesday remanded him in the agency's custody till November 6. He was produced before the special court at the end of his ED custody.
Seeking his further custody, the ED told the court that the NCP leader was evasive in his reply and gave vague answers.
