New Delhi: A Delhi court on Wednesday allowed the Enforcement Directorate to interrogate former DMK member Zafar Sadiq and four others in Tihar Central Jail in a drug-related money laundering case.
Special Judge Sudhir Kumar Sirohi allowed the ED to interrogate Sadiq, Mukesh PU Mujipur Rahman R, Ashok Kumar and SG Sadanandan (Sathanathanam) from May 8 to 10.
The judge also allowed ED officials to take their laptops, printers and other essential items to the jail to record the statements of the five accused.
The judge passed the order on an application filed by ED special public prosecutor N K Matta, who also told the court that it was necessary to confront the accused in connection with the recovery of 50 kg of pseudoephedrine.
The ED had registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA case) against Sadiq, who was earlier arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for his alleged involvement in an international drug trafficking case.
