The investigation in the alleged bribery case gathered pace after the ED late last month raided the premises of Deshmukh, 72, and his aides in Nagpur and Mumbai and later arrested two of his staffers.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is soon expected to question and record the statement of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, in a money laundering case linked to his allegation of a Rs 100 bribery-cum-extortion racket in the state police establishment that led to the resignation of former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, officials said on Friday.
They said 59-year-old Singh has been issued summons to appear before the investigating officer of the case in Mumbai and the senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer has sought some time to depose apparently due to an health issue. The summons were issued to Singh sometime ago as part of the investigation into the case involving him and Deshmukh, they said.
