A Delhi Special PMLA Court has taken cognisance of the Enforcement Directorate's chargesheet against former Reliance Communications director Puneet Garg in an alleged Rs 40,000-crore money laundering case. The court rejected Garg's bail plea, citing evidence of his involvement in concealing proceeds of crime linked to bank loan diversion through overseas entities. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on July 4, with assets worth over Rs 3,000 crore attached by the ED.
