ED arrests DHFL's Kapil Wadhawan in Iqbal Mirchi money laundering case

At present, DHFL is undergoing proceedings under the insolvency law.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) formally arrested Kapil Wadhawan (pictured), former chairman and managing director of debt-laden Dewan Housing Finance (DHFL), for his alleged role in financing a loan to gangster Iqbal Memon (alias Iqbal Mirchi), supposedly also used for funding terrorism.

Wadhawan was produced in court under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and remanded to the ED's custody for two days. 

Sources in the ED alleged he approved all payments to Mirchi. “He was looking after the finances at that point of time (in 2010) and had played a vital role in structuring the whole deal with Memon,” said an official.
