The Bombay High Court has ordered Sagar Paresh Mehta, a fraud accused in the Torres-linked money laundering case, to return to India within 72 hours and cooperate with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation. The court issued this directive on October 14, following Mehta's willingness to return from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The High Court requested Mehta to provide his travel itinerary, mobile number, and permanent residential address to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED. Mehta's lawyer stated that his client was released in the UAE under Article 15 of Federal Law No. 39 of 2006, which pertains to international judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
However, the ED claimed it was unaware of the grounds for Mehta's release. The court also directed Mehta to report to the ED's investigating officer in Mumbai within 24 hours of his return and to extend full cooperation in the investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
