Kerala Gold Smuggling: Court Denies Bail to Sivasankar in ED Case

IN connection with money laundering charges in Kerala’s gold smuggling racket, the   Suspended IAS officer M Sivasankar was on Tuesday denied bail by a court. The special court dealing with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act case (PMLA) here rejected the plea moved by the former principal secretary to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

The court had on November 12 posted the plea to Tuesday for orders after hearing arguments of the prosecution and the defense in detail. The officer, arrested by the ED on October 28 in connection with the 'money laundering' aspect in the gold smuggling case, is now lodged in a jail here after the court remanded him in judicial custody till November 26. Sivasankar had on Monday submitted an argument note in the court alleging that he was arraigned as an accused as he had refused to name a few political targets of theED's choice.
