The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at two residences of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in Nagpur district on Sunday as part of a probe into a money laundering case, a police official said.

Two separate teams of the ED searched Deshmukh's house in Katol town, located about 60 km from Nagpur, and his ancestral home at Wadvihira village near Katol, he said.

The searches started at around 6 am, he said.

The ED is conducting a probe into the money laundering case that led to Deshmukh's resignation from the post of the home minister in April this year.
