The ED had arrested Puri on August 20 in a money laundering case arising out of the bank loan fraud case. It had sought eight more days of Ratul’s custody, saying that the trail of money was yet to be found and the proceeds of crime needed to be identified.

There is another money laundering case connected with VVIP chopper (AgustaWestland) scam in which the Delhi High Court last Tuesday dismissed his anticipatory bail plea, saying his custodial interrogation was “required for an effective investigation”.
