The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to businessmen Amit Arora and Amandeep Singh Dhall in connection with the money laundering case tied to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam . Justice Neena Bansal Krishna, presiding over the case, announced the decision, providing relief to the two accused.
Both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have alleged that irregularities occurred during the modification of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 , resulting in undue advantages for license holders. The excise policy, implemented by the Delhi government on November 17, 2021, was later scrapped in September 2022 amid growing corruption allegations.
Who is Amit Arora?
Amit Arora, director of Gurugram-based Buddy Retail Pvt Ltd, was arrested by the ED on November 29, 2022, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The CBI has claimed that Arora was a close associate of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia , who held the excise portfolio when the policy was crafted. The two were accused of managing and diverting illicit funds collected from liquor licensees.
Who is Amandeep Singh Dhall?
Amandeep Singh Dhall, director of Brindco Sales Private Limited, was arrested by the ED in March last year. According to the investigation agencies, Dhall conspired with other accused and played an active role in formulating the excise policy while facilitating kickbacks to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The probe also revealed connections to the "South Group," a cartel of businessmen and politicians involved in the alleged scam.
