ED Gets Custody of Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik's 'Aide' Till December 8
News 18A special court here on Monday granted the Enforcement Directorate a one-day custody of Amit Chandole, an alleged aide of Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik, arrested in a money laundering case, hours after the Bombay High Court directed it to reconsider the agency’s plea for further remand of the accused. Granting Chandole’s custody to the ED till December 8, additional sessions judge Milind Kurtadikar directed that he be produced before the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court on December 9 at 3 pm. Earlier in the day, the Bombay High Court quashed and set aside the order of a special holiday sessions court which had rejected the ED’s plea for extension of Chandole’s custody. On Monday, Justice Prithviraj Chavan of the HC directed the special court to “reconsider” the ED’s prayer for further custody of Chandole and “pass appropriate orders by the end of the day”.
