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.
