A Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) Court in Raipur on Wednesday sent retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja to five days Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody in connection with Chhattisgarh’s alleged liquorgate.
The ED on Sunday arrested Tuteja. The scam allegedly took place during the regime of the previous Congress government.
The ED has estimated the alleged “proceeds of crime” in the case at Rs 2,161 crore.
The agency has filed a fresh money-laundering case in the alleged case after the Supreme Court quashed its earlier FIR that was based on an Income Tax Department complaint.
