Hawala racket in IPL matches: ED gets transit remand of accused

A Delhi court on Saturday allowed a plea of ED seeking transit remand of an accused arrested here in connection with its probe into alleged multi-crore hawala and money laundering in betting in IPL and international cricket matches.

Mukesh Kumar, who was arrested here on Friday by the ED, was produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Ajay Garg where the agency alleged that he was involved in sending money in and outside the country through hawala transactions. 

The court allowed the agency’s plea for transit remand of the accused and directed it to produce him before concerned court in Ahmedabad in Gujarat on or before May 25.
