Ranchi: Former Jharkhand Minister Alamgir Alam suffered a significant setback on Tuesday as the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) special court in Ranchi rejected his discharge petition. Alam is accused of laundering crores of rupees through the tender scam.
The court announced its decision after reserving the verdict on Monday, following extensive arguments from both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Alamgir Alam’s counsel.
Previous Discharge Petitions Rejected
Before this ruling, the court had also dismissed the discharge petitions of other accused in the case, including Jahangir Alam and Sanjeev Lal.
Ongoing Investigations
The case involves allegations of large-scale financial irregularities linked to tender processes, with the ED continuing its investigation into money laundering activities connected to the scam.
This decision underscores the legal challenges faced by the former minister as the case proceeds.
