A day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Congress MLA Satish Sail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act , he was produced before the special court on Wednesday which granted two days custody to the ED.
Mr. Sail represents Karwar in the Legislative Assembly. He was taken into custody on Tuesday evening after he arrived at the ED office in Bengaluru for questioning.
Mr. Sail, through his advocate, made a submission to allow him to use CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine citing prolonged illness and sleep deprivation.
While granting permission, the court also directed the ED to allow home food for him and instructed the agency against conducting late-night interrogation.
Earlier, the ED officials conducted searches on August 13 and 14 at multiple locations in Karwar, Goa, Mumbai and New Delhi under the provisions of Prevention on Money Laundering Act, related to the illegal mining case.
