Anil Deshmukh reacts to Sachin Waze’s bribery allegation, calls it ‘new move’ by Devendra Fadnavis

Rejecting allegations levelled by dismissed Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze, former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Saturday termed it a "new move" by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Sachin Waze, who is an accused in ₹100 crore extortion case as well as 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiren murder case, once again reiterated his allegation of bribery against Deshmukh. Reacting to allegations, Deshmukh, who is also senior NCP leader, said, “What Sachin Waze spoke is a new move by Devendra Fadnavis, as a few days back, I had levelled allegations against Fadnavis about how he had three years back given a proposal to me to implicate Uddhav Thackeray and Aditya Thackeray.” What Deshmukh said? — Deshmukh recently claimed that Fadnavis as the opposition leader had tried to pressure him to sign affidavits against the then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, cabinet minister Aaditya Thackeray.
