T&T Law managing partner Rohit Tandon has been arrested by the enforcement directorate (ED) yesterday under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and is to face a Delhi court about his continuing custody, reported PTI and others.
As previous reports had suggested, the ED alleges that Tandon was a key player in converting Rs 60 crore of demonetised cash of Kolkata-based businessman Parasmal Lodha.
A Delhi-based branch manager of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Ashishh Kumar, had also been arrested yesterday, with the authorities alleging that Tandon had given Kumar Rs 51 crores.
Kumar, who managed the Kasturba Gandhi Marg branch of the bank, had then allegedly issued Rs 38 crores of forged drafts, in an apparent money laundering bid, and was paid Rs 13 crores for his efforts.
The investigation around Tandon had started earlier this year, after income tax authorities raided his office and residence following the tax self-declaration deadline had elapsed. In October, Tandon then declared Rs 125 crore in unaccounted-for assets and income to the tax man.
Less than 2 months later, police and tax officials then raided Tandon’s office and residence again, allegedly recovering Rs 13.6 crores in cash of old and new currency notes.

Pls report this as Mandal has now joined BJP and stood for elections in Bengal. He is now a public figure.
Yes, we slowed down a little toward the end of the year and usually take a semi-break between Christmas and NY, but we're back online and rearing to go today, and hope to get back to our usual more competitive schedule shortly! :)
Pursuing the 'corrupt' is easier said than done. We have written more than anyone else about irregularities in law schools and what goes on, though at some level it's us shouting into an echo chamber of a few people who are interested or do something about things.
Press reports can only do so much, and most students and faculty aren't ready to rock the boat by taking action. If there's a specific law school you'd like us to focus on, please do share though, we'll take a look...
