Pal was arrested under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, after questioning and produced before a special court on Saturday morning, which granted two days of ED custody, officials said.

The case centres on a bank guarantee for an earnest money deposit submitted to the Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) on behalf of Reliance

NU BESS Limited, a subsidiary of the listed Reliance Power. The guarantee, purportedly issued by FirstRand Bank in Manila, Philippines, was found to be fake. First-Rand Bank does not operate a branch in Manila.

Reliance NU BESS Limited was formerly called Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited.
