Ranchi, May 14 (PTI) Former Jharkhand minister Alamgir Alam walked out of the Birsa Munda jail here on Thursday after the Supreme Court granted him bail in a money laundering case linked to a tender scam being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.
The federal probe agency had on May 15, 2024, arrested the Congress leader, days after about Rs 32 crore cash was seized from premises linked to his aide.
Alam had earlier moved the Jharkhand High Court seeking bail, but the court had rejected his plea, citing the seriousness of the allegations and the ongoing investigation.
Challenging it, he moved the Supreme Court, which, after hearing arguments from both sides, granted him bail. PTI SAN SAN NSD
