Chennai, April 21 -- The Madras High Court on Monday granted bail to alleged drug syndicate kingpin Jaffer Sadiq and his brother Mohamed Saleem in connection with a money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Justice Sundar Mohan passed the order citing the Supreme Court's 2024 judgment granting bail to former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as a legal precedent.

Jaffer Sadiq, a former Deputy Organiser of the DMK's NRI wing (Chennai West), was arrested on March 9, 2024, by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Delhi unit charging him with playing a central role in the trafficking of pseudoephedrine, a narcotic substance, to international drug markets including Australia and New Zealand.
