The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) national president MK Faizy under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for his alleged financial links with the banned Popular Front of India (PFI).
Following his arrest at Delhi airport, Faizy was presented before the Patiala House Court, where Special Judge Chander Jit Singh granted the ED six days of custody. He is scheduled to be produced before the court again on Monday after the remand period ends.
The court also directed ED officials to ensure that his medical needs were met and to make necessary arrangements should he choose to observe Ramzan. Additionally, Faizy's legal counsel was permitted a 15-minute meeting with him during custody.
