A day after the arrest of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sunday, 24 July, has taken one-day custody of the minister's close aide, Arpita Mukherjee.
Mukherjee will be produced before a special court on Monday, reported ANI.
Meanwhile, Niladri Bhattacharya, Mukherjee's lawyer, said that the court had rejected the ED's request for 14-day custody of Mukherjee.
He said:
"This case can only go ahead in Special Court. ED had asked for 14 days of custody which was denied. The court has not given the remand of 14 days, only 1-day remand has been given. She will be presented to Special Court tomorrow."
