Bally has been sent to judicial custody in the Kapurthala Modern Jail till the next date of hearing, March 28. The application of Kandola’s wife Rajwant Kaur, against whom too the ED had filed a chargesheet for violations of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, would also be decided on the same date. Kandolas’ lawyer Mandeep Singh Sachdev said Rajwant was currently unwell and admitted to a private hospital in New Delhi.
‘ICE king’ Kandola, who is already lodged in Delhi’s Tihar jail, was arrested by the ED on August 24 last year following a chargesheet against him, his wife and son, filed by ED Assistant Director Niranjan Singh on July 21. The police had lodged an FIR against Kandola on June 1, 2012, at Kartarpur police station and the next day at Garhshankar police station under the NDPS Act. The ED had taken up the case on October 29, 2012, to probe money laundering.
