ED arrests businessman-turned-CBI approver Dinesh Arora in Delhi liquor policy case

| @indiablooms | Jul 07, 2023, at 05:30 am

New Delhi/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Thursday arrested Dinesh Arora, a businessman considered close to jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.

Last year, a city court allowed the CBI's request to make Arora an approver in the case.

The ED is yet to make a statement on his arrest.

This was the 13th arrest in the case by the ED; it has filed five chargesheets, including against Sisodia.

Last year, the CBI in its reply to Arora's court request for protection from arrest had said he had joined the probe and disclosed certain facts which were vital for the investigation.

In August 2022, the CBI filed a case in the alleged excise policy scam and issued a lookout circular against eight people named as accused in the case.

Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and others face corruption allegations in bringing a new liquor sale policy to the national capital.

Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena ordered the CBI probe last year.

Thereafter, the Delhi government reverted to the old liquor policy and blamed the Lieutenant Governor for loss of revenue worth crores of rupees that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government claimed would have come if the new policy had continued.
