A Delhi court on May 1 reserved its order on a petition filed by TMC leader Anubrata Mondal, arrested in a money laundering case related to alleged cattle smuggling at the India-Bangladesh border, seeking his transfer from Tihar Central Jail in New Delhi to Asansol Correctional Home in West Bengal.
Special Judge Raghubir Singh said the order will be pronounced on May 4. The judge also extended Mr. Mondal's judicial custody till then.
Mr. Mondal was also produced in the courtroom on a wheelchair by Tihar jail officials.
Enforcement Directorate's Special Public Prosecutor Nitesh Rana has opposed Mr. Mondal’s plea, stating that the West Bengal court, which is examining a related case being probed by the CBI, may call the accused as and when required.
The ED had brought Mr. Mondal to Delhi after arresting him in a money laundering case.
The TMC's Birbhum district president and a close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was earlier arrested by the CBI in the related corruption case.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
