<h1>Regional legislator remanded 14 days under PMLA amid probe into alleged cash-for-assistant-teacher appointments and Rs 238 crore attachment</h1> A special PMLA court remanded a regional legislator to 14 days' judicial custody after the federal enforcement agency produced him at the end of a six-day remand in a money-laundering probe. The legislator, arrested following searches of his residence and associates, did not seek bail. Authorities allege he and associates collected large cash payments from undeserving candidates for assistant teacher appointments tied to alleged collusion with school commission officials; the Supreme Court earlier cancelled over 25,000 such appointments. Investigators report witness statements of direct payments, alleged attempts to destroy mobile-phone evidence, attachment of Rs 238 crore in assets and a chargesheet filed in April 2024.
