New Delhi, 14th Oct. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided at least 25 locations in the national capital on Friday as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation into the now-scrapped Delhi Excise policy.
According to officials, the premises searched belong to private entities associated with liquor dealership and distribution.
The federal agency has conducted multiple raids in this case to date, and Sameer Mahandru, a liquor businessman and managing director of Indospirit, was arrested in the case last month.
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.
The scheme came under scrutiny after the Delhi LG called for a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi’s Excise Policy 2021-22. In the same case, he had suspended 11 excise officials.
