A sessions court in Chennai extended the remand of former Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji until September 5. The DMK leader was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on June 14, 2023 in connection with a money laundering case.
Principal Sessions Judge S Alli, who conducted the hearing via video-conferencing from the Central Puzhal Prison, also extended Balaji’s judicial custody until September 5.
During the hearing, Harish Kumar, a City Union Bank official and former manager of its Karur branch, was present for cross-examination. The defense counsel, Gouthaman, began cross-examining him, but the session was not completed. The judge scheduled further proceedings for September 5.
Balaji’s arrest is related to a money laundering case linked to a cash-for-jobs scam that allegedly occurred during his tenure as transport minister (2011-15) under the AIADMK regime.
