A Delhi court on Friday extended by four days the custodial interrogation of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey in a money laundering case related to alleged illegal phone tapping and snooping of national stock exchange (NSE) employees.
Special Judge Rakesh Kumar passed the order on an application of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after the accused was produced before the court on the expiry of his earlier nine-day ED custody.
"Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also for fair investigations, in the interest of justice, the police custody remand of the accused Sanjay Pandey is extended till August 2," the judge said.
The court allowed ED to quiz Pandey further, after the agency's Special Public Prosecutor N K Matta said his interrogation was required to decipher the entire money trail and to further determine his role as well as that of various other persons who facilitated the offence of money laundering and to determine the entire modus operandi employed for the generation of proceeds of crime and projection thereof as licit payment for 'Periodic Study of Vulnerabilities' of NSE.
