ED raided several locations in Delhi as part of ongoing money laundering investigation
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today raided several locations in the national capital as part of its ongoing money laundering investigation into the now-scrapped Delhi Excise policy.
The premises covered under the search operation belong to private entities linked to liquor dealerships and distributorships.
The agency has conducted multiple raids in this case till now and also arrested Sameer Mahandru, a businessman in last month.
The money laundering case stems from a CBI FIR that had named Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as an accused among others. The scheme came under the scanner after the Delhi LG Vinai Kumar Saxena recommended a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi’s Excise Policy 2021-22. Mr. Saxena had also suspended 11 excise officials related to this case.
