Nobody is bigger than law, not even minister: Deshmukh

Nobody is bigger than the law and it will not discriminate against anyone in Maharashtra, Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said on Friday, in comments coming in the backdrop of his cabinet colleague Dhananjay Munde facing rape allegations.

Munde, the Social Justice Minister, has been accused of rape by a Mumbai-based woman. The NCP leader has denied the charges and termed them as a blackmail attempt. Nobody is bigger than the law, not even a minister. The law will not discriminate against anyone in Maharashtra. "Our police will probe the matter properly and take proper action against whoever is guilty. The legal process is on, Deshmukh said.
