A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court here on Wednesday rejected the bail application of businessman Sunil Agrawal and extended the judicial remand of coal business and multi-crore coal scam kingpin Suryakant Tiwari, suspended IAS officer Samir Vishnoi and two others by another 14 days.
The accused were held by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly extorting money from coal and mining transporters in Chhattisgarh.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Ajay Singh Rajput sent Agrawal to jail and extended the remand of Tiwari and three others till December 6, respondents’ lawyer Faizal Rizvi said. Rizvi said he told the court that Agrawal had nothing to do with scam and hence should be provided bail, but the plea was rejected.
