Court seeks ED reply on businessman’s bail plea

New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS) A Delhi court on Friday sought the Enforcement Directorate's reply after arrested businessman Gagan Dhawan moved a bail plea in an over Rs 5,000 crore bank fraud case.

Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma asked the ED to file a reply by November 29.

Dhawan, who is in judicial custody till December 6, was arrested on November 1 from his south Delhi residence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in a case of fraud of over Rs 5,000 crore allegedly committed by the Sandesara Group.

The ED alleged that he was involved in diverting the amount to purchase properties and to other shell companies.
