A Chennai sessions court has extended the remand of former Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji until April 15, 2024.
Balaji was apprehended by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on June 14, 2023, in a money laundering case.
III Additional Sessions Judge DV Anand, before whom Senthil Balaji was presented by the prosecution via video-conferencing from the Central Puzhal Prison, extended his judicial custody until April 15.
The judge also deferred further hearing of a petition filed by Balaji to April 15, which sought to re-open arguments on his behalf regarding his discharge petition.
The minister was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with alleged irregularities in the selection of bus conductors, drivers, and junior engineers within the Tamil Nadu Transport Department. These appointments occurred during Balaji’s tenure as the Transport Minister in the AIADMK government between 2011 and 2015.
