The Bombay High Court issued a notice to the Maharashtra government on an application filed by the CBI, seeking a direction to the state to provide documents needed for the agency's probe against former state home minister Anil Deshmukh, after the probe agency claimed its personnel were "threatened" by a police officer.

CBI counsel Anil Singh informed a division bench of Justices S S Shinde and N J Jamadar that the state government was not cooperating and claimed some CBI officers were "threatened by an assistant commissioner of police".
