‘Further custody necessary’: ED gets Vatika promoters’ custody for 3 more days
A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court in Gurugram extended the Enforcement Directorate’s custody of Vatika Limited’s chairman and managing director, Anil Bhalla, and promoter Gautam Bhalla, by three days on Friday. The Bhallas were arrested on September 28 and had already served a four-day remand. Seeking further custody, ED officials argued that the investigation required additional time to confront the promoters with documentary evidence and other witnesses.
The court agreed, stating that further custody was necessary to thoroughly investigate the alleged Rs 154-crore money laundering case linked to Gurugram plot transactions.
