Chennai: A sessions court on Tuesday extended the remand of former Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji, arrested by the ED in a money laundering case, till July 1.
Principal Sessions Judge S Alli, before whom Senthil Balaji was produced by the prosecution through video-conferencing from the Central Puzhal jail here, also extended his judicial custody till July 1.
When the case came up for hearing on Tuesday, the ED filed its counter affidavit on three petitions filed by Senthil Balaji. The judge fixed July 1 for further hearing on these petitions.
In a petition, Senthil Balaji sought to suspend the present proceedings and adjourn the case to a later date. In two other cases, he sought to produce the missing documents “Relied Upon Document No. 16 and 17” – copies of counterfoil challans related to his account, which the ED had collected in its investigation.
Balaji was arrested by the ED on June 14, 2023, in a money laundering case related to the cash-for-jobs scam when he was the transport minister during the erstwhile AIADMK regime.
