Chennai: A sessions court on Tuesday extended the remand of former Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji till June 10. The DMK leader was arrested by the ED in a money laundering case last June.
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 June 10.
When the case came up for hearing, Senthil Balaji filed two petitions.
A petition sought direction to City Union Bank, Karur to furnish the list of bank employees, especially clerks, cashiers and managers, working there between 2012 and 2022, as the ED had filed counter files issued by the bank. Heavy reliance was placed on the challan, which has allegedly been used by the petitioner and his wife to deposit cash.
In another petition, he sought direction to the bank to furnish copy of PAN card, counter foil challan of the depositors for the period 2016 to 2022.
The judge fixed June 10 as the date of hearing on these petitions.
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate filed its counter affidavit on the petition filed by Senthil Balaji, seeking adjournment of the proceedings in the case till City Union Bank recovers and credits his account. Does not produce the original counter foil/challan used. His wife.
Balaji was arrested by the ED on June 14 in a money laundering case related to the cash-for-jobs scam when he was the transport minister during the erstwhile AIADMK regime.
