Waze Renews Bribery Allegations Against Deshmukh

Dismissed Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze has renewed accusations against former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, alleging bribe collection through Deshmukh's personal assistant and implicating NCP leader Jayant Patil. Waze claims these actions occurred under pressure from Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who Deshmukh accuses of orchestrating a political vendetta. Deshmukh, backed by a Justice Chandiwal Commission report supposedly exonerating him, has challenged Fadnavis to release the findings publicly. The allegations have reignited a political feud, with BJP leaders demanding further investigation while opposition parties criticize Waze's credibility due to his criminal background. Deshmukh also claims Fadnavis previously attempted to coerce him into implicating other political figures in false charges.
