Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath’s businessman nephew, Ratul Puri, has been arrested by the ED in a fresh case of money laundering linked to an alleged Rs 354 crore bank loan fraud case, officials said Tuesday.
Ratul Puri was placed under arrest under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) late Monday night after he appeared before the central probe agency here after it slapped a fresh criminal case against him and others, taking cognisance of a CBI FIR filed last week.
It is understood that the agency wants to undertake custodial interrogation of Ratul Puri as he has allegedly been non-cooperative in this case.
He will be produced before a special court here on Tuesday, they said.
