After seeing off CBI team, Deshmukh reviews Covid facilities at Katol

Nagpur: Former state home minister Anil Deshmukh visited two Covid care facilities in his Katol constituency on Saturday late evening. This was after a 14-hour long search conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at his residence-cum-office earlier in the day.
Deshmukh and his team returned from Katol in the wee hours of Sunday.
There was speculation regarding Deshmukh’s scheduled visit to Katol on Saturday as the CBI officials were at his place from 8am to 10pm.
Deshmukh, in his 70s, left for Katol at around 7pm shortly after the CBI team left his house. In a dramatic manner, the CBI team returned within 15 minutes following which Deshmukh too had to rush back home.
It was another two hours after the CBI team finally left the place. The NCP MLA from Katol too walked out barely after two minutes and sat in his car to leave for Katol at 10pm.
It’s learnt, Deshmukh visited Katol to review the facilities provided at the new 50-bed Covid care centre there. He later also visited a Covid care centre being developed at a Nagar Parishad school.
“The ex-minister (Deshmukh) checked the facilities at the two places before sharing his suggestions with the medical and support staff. He has instructed the district collector and revenue department team to provide adequate facilities to both the facilities,” said a source.
Deshmukh, who spent an uneventful day at home on Sunday, is expected to leave for Mumbai on Monday.
