Political Storm: Deshmukh Accuses Fadnavis of Conspiracy

Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh has accused Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis of attempting to shield ex-Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh from arrest by encouraging him to make allegations against Deshmukh. Both Fadnavis and Singh denied the claims, with Deshmukh urging the release of the Justice Chandiwal Commission report.

Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh on Monday accused Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis of trying to save ex-Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh from arrest by asking him to level allegations against Deshmukh to topple the MVA government.

During a press conference in Nagpur, Deshmukh dubbed Singh the 'mastermind' behind the 2021 bomb scare near Mukesh Ambani's residence and the subsequent murder of businessman Mansukh Hiran. Both Fadnavis and Singh denied the allegations.

Deshmukh urged Fadnavis to make the Justice Chandiwal Commission report public, asserting that he was acquitted in a graft case. Fadnavis countered that the report was submitted during the MVA government but not released due to political transitions.
