New Delhi, 15 November 2022: A Delhi court today ordered to send Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) communication in-charge Vijay Nair and businessman Abhishek Boinpally to five days of ED detention in a money laundering case related to the excise policy scam case while granted them bail in a similar corruption case being investigated by the CBI.
After the ED claimed the two accused needed to be questioned in order to discover the bigger conspiracy and the money trail, Special Judge MK Nagpal granted the agency’s request for the remand of the two suspects.
While the anti-money laundering organisation added that witnesses and documentation had to be presented to the accused. The court granted the two, bail in the CBI case involving alleged anomalies in the Delhi government’s now-scrapped excise policy on personal bonds of 2 lakh each and one surety of the same amount.
While the CBI had detained Nair in September, Boinpally was detained last month. Following Lieutenant Governor of Delhi VK Saxena’s recommendation for a CBI investigation, an FIR was filed in the case.
The CBI claims that Nair participated in meetings with the other co-accused, alcohol producers, and distributors in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi in order to arrange “ill-gotten money through hawala operators.” Additionally, the CBI asserts that Boinpally attended the sessions.
