The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet against Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation. He was produced before Principal Sessions Judge S Alli, who remanded him in judicial custody until August 25. Balaji, a DMK politician, was arrested on June 14 and will remain in Puzhal central jail in Chennai. The ED also submitted a prosecution complaint of around 168-170 pages, naming Balaji as an accused. The court is yet to take cognizance of the complaint, and the ED is expected to file a supplementary charge sheet as other individuals, including members of Balaji’s family, have not yet cooperated with the investigation. The case is linked to an alleged cash-for-jobs scam during Balaji’s tenure as transport minister in the previous AIADMK regime.
