Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh was on Wednesday questioned for eight hours by the CBI.
The Central probe agency is conducting a Preliminary Enquiry on orders of the Bombay High Court in connection with the allegations of corruption raised against him by former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh.
A PTI report quoting sources said Deshmukh denied the allegations raised against him by Singh during questioning and told the officers that they were an attempt to malign the image of the state government.
It is not clear whether Deshmukh is called by the CBI for another round of questioning on Thursday.
