New Delhi: The Rouse Avenue Court on Wednesday sent former Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and Businessman KD Singh to judicial custody till February 9. He has been arrested in connection with an alleged money-laundering case.

Special Judge Gitanjali Goel on Wednesday sent him to Judicial custody while Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials will produce him in the court after the ED remand is concluded.

He was arrested by the Investigation agency Enforcement Directorate on January 13 this year for money laundering and till now, he was on ED remand.

Earlier, while seeking his remand, ED submitted that the record against him is voluminous and he needs to be confronted with other public persons in custodial remand. ED counsels submitted that KD Singh was evasive in replies and has a non-cooperative attitude. During arresting, all procedures were followed.

"We have provided him with all requirements," ED stated.

KD Singh's lawyer during arguments had submitted that his client had never been associated with the two companies that ED has named in the matter. Senior Advocate Vikram Chaudhary appeared for him and raised questions over KD Singh's arrest in the present matter.

ED had arrested KD Singh recently in connection with a money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). He was a Rajya Sabha member of the TMC in 2014.

In June 2019, ED had attached assets worth over Rs 239 crore belonging to a firm allegedly linked to Singh. It has been alleged that the Ponzi case in which Singh's firm is being probed is pegged around Rs 1900 crore. In September 2019, the ED had carried out searches at the premises of KD Singh in a money-laundering probe related to Alchemist Infra Realty LLC in a money laundering case.

He was arrested on 13 January 2021.
