Mumbai, November 4
Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, was taken to the state-run JJ Hospital here on Thursday for a medical check-up, an official said.
His all vital parameters are stable, the official said.
Deshmukh is currently in the ED’s custody, where his interrogation in connection with the money laundering case is on.
The NCP leader was brought out of the ED’s office around noon and taken to the hospital in south Mumbai, the official said.
His routine check-up was conducted at the hospital between 12.30 pm and 1.30 pm following which he was taken back to the ED’s office, the official added.
Deshmukh (71) was arrested by the ED on Monday night after being questioned for over 12 hours in connection with the money laundering case.
The former minister had skipped multiple summonses issued by the ED in the case, but after the Bombay High Court last week refused to quash them, he appeared before the agency on Monday.
On Tuesday, a special holiday court here remanded him in the ED’s custody till November 6.
