A local court remanded former legislator Sukhpal Singh Khaira in Enforcement Directorate’s custody for seven days on Friday in connection with the agency’s ongoing money-laundering investigation against the leader.
ED arrests former MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira in money laundering case
Khaira was arrested on Thursday in connection with a money-laundering investigation that’s linked to a drug racket after he “evaded some questions” put by investigators, officials had said.
The ED had raided some places in connection with their investigation in March this year—among them premises connected to Khaira and his son-in-law Inderveer Singh Johal in Delhi. The ED has accused Khaira of being an “associate” of drugs case convicts and also of being fake passport racketeer. Khaira has so far denied the allegations claiming instead that he’s being targeted because he’s been a vocal voice against the central government’s contentious agriculture laws that the Parliament passed last year.
