October 14, 2022, 12:50 pm

At least 25 locationsin the national capital region have been raided by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday in connection with an ongoing probe into alleged money laundering in the now discontinued Delhi Excise Policy, officials said.Further details in the matter are awaited.

Days after arresting Sameer Mahendru, managing director of Delhi’s Jor Bagh-based liquor distributor, the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at over thirty locations in Delhi and Punjab in connection with the case on October 7.

The ED and CBI have claimed that irregularities were committed when changing the excise policy, including giving licence holders undue favours, waiving or reducing the licence fee, and extending the L-1 licence without getting permission from the appropriate authorities. Additionally, it was claimed that in order to avoid detection, the recipients fabricated fictitious entries in their books and funnelled “illegal” income to the authorities under suspicion.

As claimed, the Excise Department made the unapproved decision to refund the victorious tenderer’s approximately Rs 30 crore earnest money deposit. Despite the lack of an enabling provision, COVID-19 permitted a waiver of the tendering licence payments from December 28, 2021, to January 27, 2022.
