The ED on Friday launched fresh raids in connection with the money-laundering probe into alleged irregularities in Delhi’s now scrapped excise duty policy, official sources said. The searches are being conducted at about 35 places in Delhi, Punjab and some places in Hyderabad, they said.
Some liquor distributors, companies and related entities are being searched, the sources said. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has so far conducted more than 103 raids in the case and last month also arrested Sameer Mahandra, a liquor trader and managing director of spirits company Indospirit, in the case.
The money laundering case comes from the CBI FIR. The liquor system came under the scanner after the Delhi LG directed the CBI to investigate alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi’s consumption policy for 2021-22. He also suspended 11 excise officers in the matter.
