Jharkhand minister Alamgir Alam, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate, was remanded to the custody of the central agency for six days by a special PMLA court in Ranchi, lawyers said on Thursday. Alam was arrested in connection with its probe into a money laundering case on Wednesday.
Alam`s lawyer Kishlay Prasad said that his six-day remand will start on Friday adding that he is in judicial custody today. “There is no specific allegation against Alam. Everything is vague. Neither they are disclosing the name of the person who has taken money or who has taken proceeds of crime. There is no direct involvement of the minister. Cash was recovered from one Jahangir who has no link with Alamgir Alam,” Prasad said.
