New Delhi: A special court today remanded in two-day police custody an alleged hawala operator in the Election Commission bribery case, involving AIADMK (Amma) faction leader TTV Dhinakaran, to ascertain the money trail.
Special judge Poonam Chaudhry also sent alleged middleman Sukesh Chandrashekar, who was produced on expiry of his police custody, to judicial custody till May 12 after the Delhi Police said his custodial interrogation was not required.
Police had secured warrants from a Delhi court to conduct the searches as part of efforts to gather "further evidence" in the alleged attempt by Dinakaran to bribe EC officials.
Police had earlier said Sukesh Chandrasekar, who was the first to be arrested, had struck a deal for Rs 50 crore to help the AIADMK (Amma)faction keep the two leaves symbol.
Police are also verifying whether Chandrasekar had approached any EC official for getting a favourable verdict for Dinakaran's faction.
