Meanwhile, Ranjan's lawyer Abhishek Krishna Gupta said the court remanded the 2011-batch IAS officer of the Jharkhand cadre to six days of ED custody, and he will again be produced on May 12. Earlier on April 24, the ED also questioned him for around 10 hours in connection with its money laundering probe into the alleged illegal land deals. Last year, the central agency arrested 2000-batch IAS officer Pooja Singhal in a money laundering case linked to the alleged embezzlement of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme funds in Khunti and other suspicious financial transactions.
