ED arrests Shivinder Singh in PMLA case

New Delhi: The ED on Thursday arrested former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh in a money laundering case related to alleged misappropriation of funds at Religare Finvest Ltd (RFL), officials said.

They said an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team reached the Tihar jail here in the evening and placed Shivinder Singh under arrest as per provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

He was in judicial custody after the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) had arrested him and others recently. On Thursday, a Delhi Court had rejected his bail plea in the police case.

He will be produced before a special PMLA court here on Friday with a plea to obtain his custody, the officials said.
