Another arrest in Delhi excise scam: Businessman Amandeep Dhall in ED custody

New Delhi: A businessman named Amandeep Dhall was arrested by ED in connection to the Delhi liquor policy scam. After being interrogated for hours, ED arrested him under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act on Wednesday evening.

Amandeep’s arrest comes three days after the CBI arrested Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in this alleged liquor scam case.

Amandeep is the director of Brindco Sales. He is alleged to have played a key role in drafting the now-shelved excise policy brought in by the Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi. His name is also placed in the CBI’s FIR.

Amandeep Dhall was close to Vijay Nair, AAP’s communication in-charge, and another accused in the case.

At present, Sisodia has been remanded to the CBI’s custody till March 4. It is alleged that Sisodia played an important role in the scam and misused his position as excise minister.
