Former IAS couple Arvind Joshi and Tinoo Joshi have been sent to prison in connection with a money laundering case after they surrendered before a court.

Judge Alok Awasthi of the special court for the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) sent the Joshis in judicial custody last evening. The court granted bail to Arvind Joshi's parents--Nirmala Joshi (88) and HM Joshi (92)--against a surety of Rs 50,000 each in view of their old age, said an Enforcement Directorate (ED) official.
