Facing Enforcement Directorate summons for his alleged links with Hasan Ali Khan, Puducherry Lt Governor Iqbal Singh on Sunday said he is ready to resign from the post if asked to.
A sessions court on Wednesday granted the Enforcement Directorate permission to question top tax evader Hasan Ali, who is presently lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail. According to reports, the interrogation would be video-recorded as per the orders of the Supreme Court.
The Enforcement Directorate has opposed the bail plea of the Pune-based stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan in its reply filed before the sessions court in Mumbai on Thursday, saying, among other things, that he may flee the country if released. The court will hear the bail application on April 26.
The lawyer of Hasan Ali Khan, currently lodged in Arthur Road Jail in a money laundering case, on Saturday said the Pune-based stud farm owner has suffered a paralytic attack. "I had gone to jail to take his signature on a petition when I found that his right leg and hand were not functioning. Khan says he suffered a paralytic attack. Strangely, the doctors in the jail have administered an injection instead of rushing him to the hospital," Khan's lawyer I P Bagadia said.
