Anil Deshmukh injured after stones thrown at his car in Maharashtra
India TodaySenior Nationalist Congress Party leader and former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Monday sustained injuries after some unidentified people attacked his car with stones on the Katol-Jalalkheda Road in Nagpur district. Anil Deshmukh was a minister in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Uddhav Thackeray. The senior Deshmukh resigned as Maharashtra Home Minister after following allegations by the then Mumbai Police Commissioner, who accused him of instructing police officers to extort money from hotel and bar owners across the city. In July this year, Deshmukh made a sensational allegation against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadavis, accusing the BJP leader of pressuring him into filing fake affidavits against ex-Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and three other MVA leaders to destabilise the government three years ago.
