Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh reportedly resigned on Monday. The development comes shortly after the Bombay High Court ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the corruption allegations against him. Deshmukh's Nationalist Congress Party—a constituent of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra—had repeatedly ruled out the Home Minister's resignation in the past.
