A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on Tuesday allowed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to question Kolkata-based businessman Kashinath Tapuriah — aide of Hasan Ali Khan, who has been accused of massive money laundering — regarding certain transactions that are under the ED scanner.

Mr. Tapuriah will be questioned for two-days from morning till evening from Wednesday. He is now lodged in the Arthur Road Prison. His counsel consented to the interrogation and did not raise any objection.

The ED moved an application on October 12, seeking the court's permission to question him.
