Money Laundering Case: Senthil Balaji’s Remand Extended Till Nov 22

Chennai’s sessions court on Monday extended Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji’s remand till November 22.

Earlier, he was arrested by the ED in connection with the money laundering case.

Principal Sessions Judge S Alli, before whom Balaji was produced via video-conferencing from the Puzhal Central Prison, extended his judicial custody till November 22.

When the case came up for hearing, advocate Arun, appearing for the DMK leader filed a petition, seeking a direction to the ED to furnish copies of documents which got seized by the prosecution during investigation.

The judge directed the agency to file its reply to the petition and posted the matter for further hearing on November 22.

Previously, Balaji was arrested on June 14 by the ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to a cash-for-jobs scam when he was the Transport Minister during an earlier AIADMK regime.
