A special court in Raipur (Chhattisgarh) has remanded retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja to Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) custody for a period of five days in connection with a money laundering case associated with an alleged Rs 2,000 crore liquor scam in the state.
Ajay Singh Rajput, the special judge handling cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, sent Anil Tuteja to ED’s custody until April 29, as stated by ED lawyer Saurabh Pandey.
Anil Tuteja was apprehended by the ED on Saturday.
Following the recent dismissal by the Supreme Court of the ED’s previous FIR based on a complaint from the Income Tax Department, the ED initiated a fresh money laundering case on April 11 concerning the purported liquor scam. The Supreme Court’s ruling determined the absence of a ‘scheduled offence’, a prerequisite for initiating a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Anil Tuteja retired from his position last year, having last served as a joint secretary in the industry and commerce department of Chhattisgarh.
