New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday extended Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandra Pillai’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody by three days in the excise policy case.
He was arrested on March 6 after hours of questioning in the case.
Special judge M. K. Nagpal of the Rouse Avenue Courts sent Pillai to ED custody on March 7, which expired on Monday.
The judge, dealing with the matter, extended his custody on Monday.
On March 10, Pillai moved an application before the same court seeking to retract his statements given to the probe agency in the case. This led to the court issuing a notice to the ED.
His arrest makes up for the 11th arrest made in the matter by the ED.
