Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials on Wednesday questioned Sharad Jaiswal for over six hours at Bhopal Central Jail in connection with the ongoing corruption probe into the transport department scam. Jaiswal, arrested by Lokayukta police on January 28, was sent to judicial remand until February 17 after a week in police custody.

According to Jail Superintendent Rakesh Kumar, a team of five ED officials arrived at the jail around 12:30 pm and began their questioning of Jaiswal. The session concluded around 6:30 pm, with officials presenting numerous documents and asking detailed questions. Officials said that ED may continue questioning Jaiswal on Thursday and plans to interrogate the remaining two accused, Chetan Singh Gaur and Saurabh Sharma, in the coming days.

Kin come calling

Family members and loved ones of the three accused visited them in custody at Bhopal Central Jail, . Saurabh Sharma's mother, Chetan Singh Gaur's father, and Sharad Jaiswal's girlfriend arrived to meet their dear ones, but their interactions were far from ordinary. Instead of lengthy conversations, most of the meeting was conducted through silent gestures and eye contact, as the visitors seemed wary of any potential surveillance equipment that might be recording their words.
