Additionally, he additionally claimed that Sharad Pawar was steadfastly towards his reinstatement and Deshmukh couldn’t have taken such an enormous resolution with out the blessings of both Sharad Pawar or Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. If Pawar was certainly towards Vaze’s reinstatement, then did Thackeray approve Vaze’s homecoming?In a declare which threatens to separate the Maha Vikas Aghadi proper via the center, Vaze who’s presently within the custody of the NIA, in his letter accused former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh of demanding Rs 2 crore from him if he needed to proceed his service in Mumbai police.In the handwritten letter which is but to be accepted by the Court, Vaze categorically mentions how NCP supremo Sharad Pawar was towards his reinstatement in 2020 and needed it to be revoked. Vaze had re-joined the pressure final 12 months, 16 years after being suspended in 2004.Vaze alleged that Deshmukh had informed him that if he paid Rs 2 crore to him, “he would convince Pawar to allow him back into the force”. Vaze wrote, “I had expressed my inability to pay such an amount. On this, the home minister asked me to pay it in a later course.”Reiterating the sensational extortion allegations levelled by Param Bir Singh towards Anil Deshmukh, Vaze claimed that in October 2020 he was summoned by the previous Maharashtra Home Minister to the Sahyadri Guest House the place Deshmukh requested him to gather Rs 3-3.5 lakh every from 1,650 bars and eating places in Mumbai.Vaze claims that he turned out Deshmukh’s request as he wrote, “I refused by saying that it was not within the scope of my capability.”According to Vaze’s letter, Deshmukh’s PA submit the assembly reached out to him and suggested him to adjust to the directions of Deshmukh if he wished to maintain his job and submit intact. Vaze claimed that Deshmukh but once more made the identical demand when the duo met at Deshmukh’s official residence in January 2021.If we have been to take Vaze’s claims at face worth, who did Anil Deshmukh persuade Vaze’s reinstatement if Pawar was adamant about not relenting? The solely two individuals who have been greater up the political meals chain in Maharashtra than Anil Deshmukh have been Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray.It is pertinent to notice that former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis alleged that Uddhav Thackeray had personally approached him to reinstate Vaze throughout his CM stint. “When I received the proposal to reinstate Vaze back into the police force, I had verbally sought advocate general’s opinion about it. I was told that Vaze was suspended after the Bombay High Court’s order. Therefore, I decided not to reinstate him,” mentioned Fadnavis.He said that in 2018, Uddhav Thackeray had known as him to hunt reinstatement of the then suspended police officer Sachin Vaze into the state police pressure. Vaze’s letter has opened a can of worms. While Deshmukh’s political profession is all however completed, it’s now the flip of Deshmukh’s political bosses if there may be any fact to Vaze’s sensational allegations.
