Leena Paul, along with her husband, allegedly duped former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh's wife Aditi Singh.
A Delhi court has extended the custodial interrogation of actor Leena Maria Paul till October 23 in a money laundering case related to extortion of Rs 200 crore from a businessman's wife.
The Enforcement Directorate said that Leena Maria Paul was "not merely beneficiary of the proceeds of crime but apparently was playing an active role in movement of the proceeds of crime, its projection as untended money and was working in concert with main accused Sukesh Chandrashekar (her husband)".
"The fact that money was moved at her instructions how and where this money has emerged but trail is still incomplete... in case further police custody of the accused is not granted, the trail which is to be established shall go cold," the ED, which probes financial crimes, said.
During the actor's custody and interrogation, care will be taken to ensure proper distancing in order to avoid accused catching any infection, said the probe agency.
