Madras High Court today dismissed the bail petition of Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji
The Madras High Court today dismissed the bail petition of Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case.
Justice G Jayachandran dismissed the bail petition of Senthil Balaji.
The judge observed that since the brother of the petitioner was missing and the petitioner was holding the post of a Minister without portfolio, he may likely tamper with witnesses.
Mr Balaji was arrested on June 14 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case linked to cash-for-jobs scam when he was the Transport Minister during the earlier AIADMK regime.
