The CBI should question former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, arrested in a corruption case, in Mumbai and not in New Delhi given his health condition and his demand in this regard be considered sympathetically, the NCP said on Thursday. Maharashtra NCP chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapase contended party leader Deshmukh's shoulder is dislocated and he is not in a good shape health-wise.

“His shoulder is dislocated and his health is not good. He is troubled by spondylitis. Hence, he has demanded that he be interrogated in Mumbai and not Delhi (where CBI wants him to take for questioning). His demand (for interrogation in Mumbai) be considered sympathetically…we will be happy if they give him relief by questioning him in Mumbai,” Tapase told reporters here.
