The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court granted bail to journalist Siddique Kappan today in a case filed against him under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Kappan’s lawyer Mohamed Dhanish confirmed the news to Newslaundry.
The PMLA case had been filed against Kappan and others by the Enforcement Directorate in February 2021. He had received bail in September for a case filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. However, he remained in jail due to the ED case, for which he was denied bail in October by a Lucknow sessions court.
