The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday arrested Jharkhand Rural Development Minister and Congress leader Alamgir Alam on the second day of interrogation in a money laundering case.
The agency had last week arrested Mr. Alam’s Officer on Special Duty Sanjiv Kumar Lal and his domestic help Jahangir Alam after the seizure of more than Rs 36 crore in cash from a flat linked to them.
Mr. Alam, 70, the Pakur MLA, was asked to depose at the ED office to record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on Tuesday and was questioned for more than 10 hours.
