Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday arrested Jharkhand Minister and Congress leader Alamgir Alam in connection with a huge cash recovery from the household help of his personal secretary and state administrative service officer Sanjeev Kumar Lal.
The Congress leader on Tuesday grilled by ED officials for over nine hours in connection with a money laundering case. Alam, the state's Rural Development minister, arrived at the ED office around 11 am and came out of the office around 8.30 pm.
The probe agency had last week arrested Alam's personal secretary and state administrative service officer Sanjeev Kumar Lal (52) and the latter's domestic help Jahangir Alam (42), following the seizure of more than Rs 32 crore cash from a flat linked to them.
Alam, aged 70, was asked to depose at the zonal office of the ED in Ranchi on Tuesday for recording his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
