A Delhi court today reserved the order for August 6 on anticipatory bail plea of Ratul Puri, nephew of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, in connection with a money laundering case related to the VVIP chopper scam.
Special Judge Arvind Kumar also extended the interim protection from arrest to Puri till August 6.
Puri, chairman of Hindustan Power projects Pvt Ltd, had on July 27 approached the court seeking anticipatory bail in the case, saying he feared arrest in the case.
Earlier, he appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for interrogation in the case relating to the now scrapped 3,600 crore rupee chopper deal with Agusta Westland. The court had last Saturday granted the interim protection till Monday, which was extended time to time since then.
Meanwhile, a man claiming to be a witness appeared before the court saying the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had recorded his statement forcefully and urged the court to intervene. The court will take up this application tomorrow.
