 "Court sends Ratul Puri to 6-day ED custody for 'money laundering'")
A Delhi court Thursday sent Ratul Puri, nephew of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, to 6-day ED custody in a money laundering case related to the AgustaWestland chopper scam.
Special Judge Arvind Kumar sent Puri to ED's custody till September 11, noting that the agency has sought his custodial interrogation to unearth the source and end use of tainted money.
