New Delhi, May 18 A Delhi court on Monday granted transit remand to the Enforcement Directorate to produce arrested AAP leader Deepak Singla before a court in Haryana's Panchkula.
In an order passed at around 10:30 pm, Special Judge Sushant Changotra directed the ED to produce Singla before the court concerned by 2 pm on Tuesday.
During the proceedings, the federal agency sought one-day transit remand.
Earlier in the day, the ED arrested Singla in connection with an alleged multi-crore money laundering case arising out of a Rs 150 crore scam in the Oriental Bank of Commerce, officials said.
The arrest followed coordinated searches at multiple premises linked to Singla and several hawala operators across Delhi and Goa, they said.
Singla was an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from the Vishwas Nagar assembly seat in Delhi. He was raided by the ED in 2024 too as part of an investigation.
According to the officials, the money laundering case stems from a bank loan fraud in which Singla, along with his family members, is accused of defrauding the Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) of more than Rs 150 crore.
The ED has alleged that the defrauded loan amounts were transferred to various shell companies controlled by the accused in Singapore and then these offshore "proceeds of crime" were subsequently routed back into India via illicit hawala channels.
