As per case details, Sameer Vishnoi, a Chhattisgarh-cadre IAS officer of the 2009 batch, was working as the CEO of the Chhattisgarh Infotech Promotion Society.
A special court in Raipur on Friday extended by six days the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody of an IAS officer and two others in a money laundering case linked to the alleged extortion of money from coal and mining transporters in Chhattisgarh.
Additional district and sessions judge Ajay Singh Rajput extended the remand of IAS officer Sameer Vishnoi, businessman Sunil Agrawal and one Laxmikant Tiwari.
The alleged accused were produced before the court on the expiry of their eight-day ED custody, Tiwari's lawyer Faizal Rizvi said.
The defence lawyers opposed the ED's plea of remand extension, he said.
