Ratul Puri, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath’s nephew, has been arrested by the ED in a new case of money laundering.
The allegations against him link to an alleged Rs 354-crore bank loan fraud, ED officials said on August 20.
Puri, an entrepreneur, was placed under arrest under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) late night on 19 August, after he appeared before the agency. The ED slapped a fresh criminal case against him and others, taking cognizance of a CBI FIR filed last week.
The agency, understandably wants to interrogate him in custody, as Puri has allegedly been non-cooperative in this case. He will be produced before a special court in New Delhi on Tuesday.
