The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar in a fresh money laundering case linked to duping of former Religare promoter Malvinder Singh`s wife, officials said on Thursday.

A Delhi court sent him to nine-day ED custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The fresh charges against Chandrashekhar pertain to Rs 3.5 crore that Malvinder Singh`s wife Japna is alleged to have paid after she was conned that this money would be used to bail her husband out.
