Court asks ED to do ?homework? on Hasan Ali case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) was on Wednesday pulled up by a Mumbai court for preparing a ?sloppy? case against the country?s top tax evader Hasan Ali Khan while seeking his remand.
Hearing a petition filed by the ED seeking 14 days remand of Ali, Principal Sessions Court judge ML Tahaliyani sent Ali to ED?s custody for just one day and asked the agency to return with a more solid case against the accused.
?You have not been able to make any case and you want me to hear you. If you want to do some homework, you can take time,? Tahaliyani said.
The ED counsel submitted before the court that Ali?s purported links with international arms smugglers need to be properly probed as it is a issue concerning national security.
Hasan Ali Khan was arrested by the ED on Monday.
He had on Tuesday claimed that he was ?innocent? in the black money hoarding case even as the Supreme Court mulled slapping anti-terror laws against Khan and other such criminals.
Khan, who is being grilled by ED sleuths after being arrested from Pune, said he was being framed.
?I am a victim of a political conspiracy. I am innocent,? Khan told reporters as he was taken inside the ED office here.
Khan, who reportedly evaded tax worth Rs 70,000 crore, was booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act after he was taken to Mumbai for questioning on black money and tax evasion.
Khan?s arrest has been followed by raids at premises of his associates in Mimbai, Pune, Gurgaon, Kolkata and other places since Monday evening.
The arrest had followed the Supreme Court?s strong words against the government, questioning its failure to crack the whip on black money hoarders.
This are the worst K G Students as Officials who shamelessly withdraws the salaries doing nothing and sometimes acts as the PIMPS of Corrupt Politicians to botch up the cases. SC should order for arrest of all CBI & ED Officials who are proved to be ANTI-NATIONALS for Cover-up. In recent times India has experienced RTI Activists and Alert Media had done better Patriotic Jobs to expose Corrupts, than this useless agencies who are becoming Burden to Nation.
