New Delhi, 14th Nov. The ED has arrested two businessmen in connection with its ongoing money laundering investigation into the Delhi Excise policy, which was scrapped due to corruption allegations. The two are currently in custody after being arrested in the same case by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
According to reports, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will seek custody of the two from a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court.
According to the CBI, the Hyderabad-based Boinpally was allegedly lobbying for certain liquor businessmen in southern India.
According to the CBI, Nair, a former CEO of an event management company, was associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and had entered into a criminal conspiracy with others in furtherance of the conspiracy related to the excise policy of the government of the national capital territory of Delhi (GNCTD) for the fiscal year 2021-2022.
The ED had previously arrested Sameer Mahandru, promoter of Indospirit, General Manager of Pernod Ricard, Benoy Babu, and P Sarath Chandra.
So far, the agency has conducted 169 search operations in this case.
The money laundering case stems from a CBI FIR in which Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was named as one of the accused, among others.
Following the filing of the case, the CBI raided the residences of Sisodia and some Delhi government bureaucrats.
