Chennai, A sessions court here on Thursday extended the remand of former Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji till July 8. He was arrested by ED last year in a money laundering case.
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 8.
When the case came up for hearing on Thursday, both the sides completed their arguments on the two petitions filed by Senthil Balaji. He had sought to furnish the missing documents “Relied Upon Document No.-16 and 17” – copies of counterfoil challans relating to his account, which were collected by the Enforcement Directorate in its investigation.
The judge fixed further hearing on July 8 on another petition filed by Balaji, seeking stay of the present proceedings and adjourning the case to a later date.
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.
