Police close probe into attack on former Maharashtra Minister Anil Deshmukh; declare case as 'false'

“Police have closed the probe into last year’s alleged stone attack on Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) [NCP(SP)] leader and former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, declaring the case false through a ‘B Summary’ report filed in a court,” officials said on Wednesday (October 1, 2025).

“The Nagpur rural police submitted the ‘B Summary’ report at a court in Katol in Nagpur last week after forensic findings and inquiries failed to support the claims made in the complaint,” they said.

“The police have also sought permission from the court to prosecute the complainant in the case,” an official said. Mr. Deshmukh’s personal assistant Ujjwal Bhoyar had filed the complaint, alleging the stone attack on the NCP(SP) leader.

The alleged incident was reported on November 18, 2024, when Mr. Deshmukh was returning to Katol from an election campaign meeting in Narkhed village of Nagpur district.
