: A Delhi court on Saturday allowed a plea of Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking transit remand of an accused arrested here in connection with its probe into the alleged multi-crore hawala and money laundering, in betting in IPL and international cricket matches.
Mukesh Kumar, who was arrested here on Friday by the ED, was produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Ajay Garg, where the agency alleged that he was involved in sending money in and outside the country through hawala transactions.
The court allowed the agency’s plea for transit remand of the accused and directed it to produce him before the concerned court in Ahmedabad in Gujarat on or before May 25.
“As per the records, allegations against the arrestee are grievous in nature, the co-accused are already in custody of the ED. In these circumstances, considering the gravity of offence, I hereby grant transit remand of arrestee Mukesh Kumar for two days with effect from May 23 to May 25,” the ACMM said. — PTI
