Moving further in the investigation of the Delhi Liquor scam, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has now arrested another businessman, Mr. Amit Arora over money laundering charges in connection with the case.
According to sources, Mr. Amit Arora is the Director of Buddy Retail Pvt Limited located in Gurugram, Haryana. His involvement in the liquor case has been established by the ED, following which, he has been arrested for investigation. Furthermore, this is the sixth arrest in this case by the ED, made in the late night hours of the 29th of November, Wednesday.
Mr. Amit Arora was arrested last night under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA,) ED sources said. He is expected to be produced before a local court where the agency will seek his custody, confirmed sources further.
The Enforcement Directorate case stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR. The CBI in a recently filed chargesheet in the case claimed that Amit Arora, with two other accused, Dinesh Arora and Arjun Pandey, are‘ close associates’ of Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and were ‘actively involved in managing and diverting the undue pecuniary advantage collected from liquor licensees’ for the accused public servants.
The ED also filed its first chargesheet (prosecution complaint) in the case last week, naming arrested businessman Sameer Mahandru and few other entities in it.
