Anil Deshmukh, the former Maharashtra Home Minister, has been arrested by the CBI in connection with a corruption case filed against him. Deshmukh's personal assistant Kundan Shinde and secretary Sanjeev Palande had been detained by the agency, and assistant police inspector Sachin Vaze had been fired. The Bombay High Court had already refused to hear Anil Deshmukh's appeal. Deshmukh appealed a Special CBI court ruling allowing the CBI to apply for his detention in connection with an alleged corruption case.
