Deshmukh and his associates are being investigated for alleged corruption between 2019 and 2021.
Based on the findings of the preliminary investigation into a complaint by advocate Dr. Jaishri Patil, the CBI had charged Deshmukh and unknown others.
The inquiry was launched after the Bombay High Court issued a direction to that effect on April 5, 2021, in response to a petition filed by Param Bir Singh, former Commissioner of Mumbai Police.
Deshmukh was named in the FIR after an investigation, along with personal secretary Sanjeev Palande, personal assistant Kundan Shinde, and dismissed Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze, whose names were later added.
Deshmukh and others were arrested for the first time in November 2021 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the same case for money laundering offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
They were later apprehended by the CBI in the first week of April this year.
They were detained by the CBI until April 16, when they were transferred to judicial custody.
