New Delhi, Oct 7: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday launched fresh raids at 25 locations in connection with money laundering investigation into alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
The searches are being carried out at about 35 locations in Delhi, Punjab and some places in Hyderabad, they said. Some liquor distributors, companies and linked entities are being searched.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted more than 103 raids in this case till now and had also arrested Sameer Mahandru, a liquor businessman and managing director of liquor manufacturing company Indospirit last month in the case.
CM Kejriwal fumes against ED:
Reacting to the fresh raids, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said that, ED or CBI has got nothing against DCM Manish Sisodia because he has done nothing wrong.
Taking it to twitter he said, “More than 500 raids, since 3 months more than 300 CBI/ED officers are working 24 hours, just to find evidence against Manish Sisodia. They Couldn’t find anything. Because, nothing wrong was done. Time of so many officers is being wasted for the dirty politics. How the country will prosper if the condition is like this?”
