In the Delhi Liquor Policy investigation, the leader of a pharmaceutical company based in Hyderabad is apprehended
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has escalated its investigation into the Delhi liquor plan case, with the arrest of Indospirit CEO, Sameer Mahandru, in September. This follows the arrest of Sarath Reddy, Director of Aurobindo Pharma, who was previously detained in connection with the case.
The Delhi liquor plan case involves allegations of cash washing and abnormalities in the import tax plan. The case came under scrutiny after the Delhi Lieutenant Governor suggested a CBI probe into the alleged abnormalities in the application of Delhi's Import tax Policy 2021-22.
The CBI investigation into the alcohol policy instance started a few months before the Gujarat political elections, sparking accusations that the centre and the Lieutenant Governor are interfering in the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) election campaign in Gujarat. The AAP is a political party in India, with its headquarters in Delhi.
Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Chief Minister, has affirmed these allegations, stating that the centre, with the Lieutenant Governor acting as a proxy, wants to harm the AAP's campaign in Gujarat.
The ED has conducted multiple raids in this case so far, with previous searches at the facilities of Sarath Reddy and examinations of both him and Sameer Mahandru. The Enforcement Directorate had also jailed Sarath Reddy, Director of Aurobindo Pharma, in connection with a cash washing probe into alleged abnormalities in the now-scrapped Delhi import tax plan.
The Delhi Lieutenant Governor had also suspended 11 import tax officials in relation to the case. The Gujarat political elections are scheduled to be held in a house state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
