On Monday, former home minister Anil Deshmukh appeared before the ED in order to record his statement. The ED said Deshmukh, through his PA Kundan Shinde, had collected an amount of Rs.4.7 crore in cash from the assistant police inspector Sachin Waze.
At that time, Waze was heading the CIU branch of the Mumbai police and had also collected money from the orchestra bar owners of Mumbai through illegal means for Deshmukh.
From that amount, Rs.4.18 crore was transferred to Anil Dehsmukh’s Nagpur-based educational trust through shell companies taking the help from Delhi-based hawala operators Surendra Jain and Virendra Jain which showed the money as donation.
