Enforcement Directorate arrests Congress MLA Satish Sail

The 59-year-old legislator from the Karwar Assembly seat in Uttara Kannada was taken into custody late Tuesday night following his questioning at the federal probe agency's Bengaluru zonal office, the sources said.

He was produced before a special court on Tuesday that sent him to one-day custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). He will be produced before the court again on Wednesday where the agency will seek for his fresh custodial remand, the sources said.

Sail is the second Congress MLA to be arrested by the ED over the last few weeks. Late last month, the agency had arrested Chitradurga MLA K C Veerendra 'Puppy' in an alleged illegal betting linked money laundering case.
