Officials investigating the money-laundering case on Wednesday filed a chargesheet in the Mumbai PMLA court. The chargesheet is 6000 pages long and Deshmukh's name has been mentioned in the chargesheet. Deshmukh has been named as the main accused in the case while his sons Hrishikesh and Salil have also been named as co-accused.
Anil Deshmukh did not appear before the investigating agency till November. On November 2, he suddenly appeared before the ED. The ED interrogated him for more than seven hours and arrested him.

In March 2021, Param Bir Singh, a top-notch Mumbai police officer, had framed corruption allegations against the NCP leader Anil Deshmukh, in a letter addressed to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray and NCP chief Sharad Pawar.
In the letter, he accused Deshmukh of ordering former API Sachin Vaze to collect Rs 100 crore every month from the restaurant and bar owners in the city. The FIR registered against him also accused him and others of exercising undue influence over the transfer and posting of officials.
