In a statement last Friday, he said, "He cooperated fully with enforcement directorate (ED) officials who met him during searches of his premises under a money-laundering investigation against him.'' Deshmukh expressed hope that "the truth will come out.'' Talking to reporters in Mumbai, he also said, "I will continue to cooperate with the investigating agencies in the future also. The truth will come out.''
On the other hand, officials said in Delhi, "The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday raided the premises of him and his (Deshmukh's) associates in Nagpur and his (Deshmukh's) associates in Mumbai as part of a money-laundering probe against Deshmukh on charges of bribe of Rs 100 crores.'' Further, the officials also stated that "raids are being conducted under the provisions of prevention of money laundering act (PMLA) and these places include Deshmukh's residence at GPO Chowk in Nagpur and residence of his personal secretary Sanjeev Palande and personal assistant Kundan Shinde in Mumbai.''

Singh made false allegations against me when he was removed from office. The CBI is investigating the case and I will cooperate.''
