By
Chennai: The Madras High Court on Thursday dismissed the jailed Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji’s petition seeking bail on medical grounds.
Justice G. Jayachandran rejected the minister's request for bail, stating that his health condition was not one that could be taken care of only if he is released on bail.
The judge observed that since the brother of the petitioner was absconding and the petitioner was holding the post of a Minister without portfolio, he may likely tamper with witnesses.
Balaji was arrested on June 14 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to a cash-for-jobs scam when he was the Transport Minister during the earlier AIADMK regime.
