Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma had on 13 September extended the judicial custody of the duo, booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) till 27 September.

Shah and Wani, currently in judicial custody, will be presented before the court through video-conferencing.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had on Saturday filed a chargesheet against the two. Shah was arrested by the ED on 25 July, while Wani apprehended on 6 August.

Wani had allegedly confessed that he had passed on Rs.2.25 crore in hawala money to Shah.
