Chennai: A city court on Monday extended the remand of former Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji, arrested by the ED last year, till March 13.
Additional sessions judge before whom Senthil Balaji was produced by the prosecution through video conferencing from Puzhal prison extended his judicial custody till Wednesday.
The judge also posted to March 13 the hearing on the discharge petition filed by Balaji in connection with the case.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Balaji on June 14 last year in connection with a cash-for-jobs scam when he was Transport Minister in an earlier AIADMK regime.
His multiple bail pleas have been rejected by the Madras High Court, as well as the city court so far.
