Mumbai, March 23: NCP chief Sharad Pawar came to rescue of Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh claiming and asserting that Deshmukh was in Nagpur from February 15 to February 27. Pawar was definitely trying to refute former Mumbai CP Parambir Singh’s allegations that controversial cop Sachin Vaze had met Deshmukh in mid-February at his residence.
Pawar asserted that since Deshmukh was in Nagpur, he could not meet Vaze in Mumbai at that time. "Former CP has mentioned that around mid-February HM called Sachin Waze at his official residence and gave instructions to him as alleged in the letter. But It is absolutely clear that Shri Deshmukh was in Nagpur and home isolated during that particular time", he tweeted.
Except, just hours later he got fact-checked by none other than Deshmukh who revealed that he was indeed in Mumbai and had taken a private plane from Nagpur, even when he was to be on home quarantine. He released the statement through a video on Twitter where he can be seen saying that he got discharged from the hospital on February 15 in Nagpur and immediately left for Mumbai with required permissions to get into home quarantine as per government guidelines. He then claims he was in complete home quarantine since then till the February 27.
Meanwhile, in a tweet, the Bharatiya Janata Party's media head revealed a document that clearly shows Deshmukh traveled to Mumbai in a private plane. As per the document, seven other people along with Deshmukh had travelled on the plane. The document has done anything but raised multiple questions and has thrown NCP Chief Sharad Pawar and Home Minister Anil Deshmukh’s claims out of the window where they insisted Anil was in home quarantine from February 15 to 27.
With the travel document out, Anil Deshmukh has released another statement where he is seen saying that he had taken a letter from the hospital (Travel Letter For Traveling) to travel. The letter stated that Anil Deshmukh was fit for flying. Pawar’s claims also got countered by Deshmukh’s old tweets from February where he had said he was in Mumbai. Anil Deshmukh’s Twitter timeline reveals that on February 18 this year, he and his wife Arti Deshmukh paid their last respects to police officer Sanjay Naranware who passed away in a tragic accident. As per his own admission, Deshmukh claimed he was on home quarantine from February 2021 15 onward.
The case gets turned and twisted with no clear assertions in favor of the truth. Singh yesterday has moved up to the Supreme Court seeking a CBI probe against Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Now what remains interesting is to know Maharashtra CM's stand in the matter.
