The CBI on Sunday recorded the statements of two staff members of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in connection with a preliminary enquiry into the allegations of corruption against him.
“The statements of two personal assistants of Mr. Deshmukh have been recorded, as their names had come up during the probe being conducted to determine if a prima facie case is made out,” said a CBI official.

A special NIA court on Friday sent suspended Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze to judicial custody till April 23.

It is all hearsay, there is no material evidence, Anil Deshmukh told the Supreme Court today.
New Delhi:
An independent probe is warranted in the matter of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh s corruption allegations against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh since both occupied such high positions in the government, the Supreme Court today said. It refused to interfere with a Bombay High Court order directing a CBI investigation into the charges, observing that the two persons involved were working closely until they fall apart.
The comments from a Supreme Court bench of Justices S K Kaul and Hemant Gupta came on an appeal by the Maharashtra government and Mr Deshmukh to stay the High Court order.
