Court rejects ED plea for Hasan Ali’s remand, grants bail

Mumbai, Mar 11 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate faced a big embarassment today when a local court rejected its plea seeking Hasan Ali Khan’s remand for custodial interrogation and granted him bail after observing contents of some of its “confidential” documents were “available in Wikipedia”.

Principal Sessions Court Judge M L Tahaliyani while rejecting the agency’s remand application for 14-day custodial interrogation of the controversial 53-year-old businessman and Pune-based stud farm owner observed it had failed to back its charges in a money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

“No material evidence has been presented by the ED that shows any scheduled offence has been committed by Khan,” Tahaliyani observed, ordering that the man alleged to have stashed billions abroad be enlarged on conditional bail.
