A Delhi court has questioned the Enforcement Directorate’s conduct after a man first cited as a witness in a money-laundering case was later made an accused. The court termed the approach disturbing and sought an explanation from the agency. The court directed the ED to explain how officers decide to arrest a person and what monitoring senior officials carry out over such arrests. The proceedings concern the agency’s use of powers under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
