Enforcement Directorate to interrogate Abhishek Verma and Wife

Delhi court has sent businessman Abhishek Verma and his wife to four days custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in a money laundering case.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Gautam Manan ruled against Verma and his Romanian wife Anca Maria Neascu. They were arrested in the case Wednesday.

Verma, also an accused in the 2006 naval war room case, had earlier sought permission from the court to surrender in the money laundering case but the ED said they would arrest them.

The businessman and his wife are also facing trial in separate corruption and forgery cases.

The naval war room case is linked to the leak of classified documents from the Directorate of Naval Operations.
