Maharashtra govt sets up panel to probe corruption charges levelled by Param Bir Singh against Anil Deshmukh


The committee will make recommendations in connection with the issues that will come up during the probe.

Deshmukh, who had denied Singh’s charges, on March 20 itself had urged Thackeray to conduct a probe through a high-level committee. Subsequently, NCP chief Sharad Pawar had said the charges made by Singh were ‘’ serious’’ and it should be probed. He, however, turned around saying that based on the papers available with him such a probe was not needed but he had left the decision to Thackeray being his prerogative.

The appointment of a panel is similar to a committee headed by retired judge Dinkar Zoting which probed the corruption charges against former revenue minister Eknath Khadse in connection with the purchase of a three-acre plot at Bhosari in Pune. However, the BJP-led government, which had formed the panel, did not make it public.
