Senthilbalaji: ED Nudges Madras High Court For Trial and Not Bail

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) accuses former Transport Minister V. Senthilbalaji of deliberately delaying a high-profile money laundering trial. In a counter affidavit, the ED emphasized the need for a speedy trial and highlighted Senthilbalaji’s alleged influence in impeding the process. The affidavit also detailed Senthilbalaji’s involvement in a cash-for-jobs scam and the sophisticated operation of laundering proceeds. The ED has refuted allegations of manipulating digital evidence and appealed to the Madras High Court to deny Senthilbalaji’s bail application, highlighting the importance of maintaining the integrity of the legal system.
