The ₹32.2 crore cash seized from the Ranchi-based premise of the domestic help of a secretary of Jharkhand Minister Alamgir Alam "pertains" to the lawmaker and he enjoyed a fixed commission of 1.5% from every tender executed in his department, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleged on May 16 .
The federal agency made this claim as it produced the 74-year-old Alam, a Congress leader from Pakur, before the court of special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) Prabhat Kumar Sharma.
He was arrested on May 15 by the agency. The court sent him to six days of ED custody.
