- Rs. In the case of money laundering of Rs 200 crore

- The husband and wife together took money from the wife of the promoter of Fortis Healthcare

New Delhi: From the wife of one of the country's top businessmen, Rs. A court here has extended the custody of actress Lina Maria Paul till October 15 in a money laundering case involving a forcible seizure of Rs 200 crore. Special Judge Parveen Singh extended the custody of Paul's husband and accused in 21 cases Sukesh Chandrasekhar's ED for another 11 days. The couple had earlier been granted a three-day remand by the court, which was set to expire on October 16. The court extended the custody of both the spouses instead of granting them further relief.

The couple has been accused of cheating with Aditi Singh, the wife of Shivinder Mohan Singh, the promoter of the country's famous Fortis Healthcare company. Investigating agency officials had sought remand of the two for another 11 days.

There is a big discrepancy between the statements of the other accused and the main accused after looking at the records received. In addition, more custody is required to establish where the rupee came from and where it went, although I see no strong basis for sending Lina Maria Paul into custody for 11 days. Said the judge.

The petition, filed by Atul Tripathi, Special Public Prosecutor of the Enforcement Directorate, claimed that an additional 11 days of inquiry was needed to determine what role some other people who helped the accused in the money laundering case had played.

In June last year, while Shivinder Mohan, the promoter of Fortis Healthcare, was in jail, a man approached Aditi Singh, Shivinder Mohan's wife, and introduced himself as a high-ranking official of the Union Law Ministry and offered her cash. The husband will be able to get bail from the court. However, an FIR was registered against Aditi Singh in the Economic Crimes Branch of the Delhi Police and he was arrested by the Delhi Police.
