Court turns down Anil Deshmukh's request for home-cooked meals in jail
Mumbai/IBNS: A court has turned down jailed former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh's request for home cooked meals.
A special court which sent Deshmukh to judicial custody for 14 days on Monday asked him to eat jail food.
"You eat jail food first. If not, then I will consider," the judge said, reported NDTV.
Deshmukh was arrested on November 1 in connection with a case of money laundering that stemmed from former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh's Rs 100 crore bribery allegation.
The former minister was arrested after ED interrogated him for more than 12 hours at the agency's office in Mumbai.
The agency contends that the former minister misused his post and collected Rs 4.70 crore from bars and restaurants of the city with the help of dismissed police officer Sachin Waze, according to NDTV.
