Mumbai/Nagpur, Jul 30 (UNI) Enforcement Directorate has once again issued fresh summons to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and his son to appear before it in connection with a money laundering case probe, sources said on Friday.
Mr Deshmukh and his son, Hrishikesh, have been asked to appear before the investigating officers of the case on August 2.
The summons were issued in connection with the criminal case registered under the PMLA related to an alleged Rs 100 crore bribery-cum-extortion racket in the Maharashtra police establishment that led to Deshmukh's resignation in April this year.
NCP leader Deshmukh has so far skipped three summons of the federal probe agency in the past for questioning in the case.
His son and wife also were summoned and they also did not appear before the ED. Meanwhile, Deshmukh expressed his readiness to appear before the agency.
The ED's case against Deshmukh and others was made out after the CBI booked him in a corruption case related to allegations of Rs 100 crore bribery made by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh
