SRINAGAR: Former minister Lal Singh, who was arrested earlier this month by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, was granted interim bail by a special court in Jammu on Thursday. Singh, who is also the chairman of the Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan Party (DSSP), was welcomed by his supporters upon his release from the Jammu district jail.
The arrest took place on November 7 after a judge dismissed his anticipatory bail application. The ED is investigating Singh in connection with a case involving an educational trust run by his wife, Kanta Andotra.
The court granted interim bail on conditions, including a surety of Rs 2 lakh and cooperation with the investigation. The case is scheduled for a hearing on December 14.
The money laundering charges stem from a CBI chargesheet filed in October 2021, alleging irregularities in land transactions in 2011. The court emphasized Singh’s presumed innocence until proven guilty and noted his role as an attorney in the matter.
