Recently, a special court granted regular bail to Trinamool Congress (TMC) spokesperson Saket Gokhale in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in a crowd-funding initiative for which he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate.
The bench headed by Special Judge DM Vyas granted regular bail to Gokhale.
He was alleged to misused funds amounting to Rs 1.07 crore and was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Counsel for Gokhale, Adv. Anand Yagnik submits that Saket will likely be released from the Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad on Monday after completing formalities.
According to ED, Gokhale had raised funds from people through campaigns run on online platforms 'Ourdemocracy.in' and Razorpay. The ED said that the fund thus raised was allegedly utilised and diverted for Gokhale's personal expenses instead of the intended purpose.
The special court in February rejected Gokhale's plea for regular bail on the grounds of the pending investigation.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court granted Gokhale regular bail in a case in which he was arrested by the Ahmedabad Police in December last year.
