New Delhi: The Central Investigation Agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) has now seized around Rs 1 crore in cash after raids in connection with the Delhi liquor scam and money laundering probe. The ED had on Friday (October 7) carried out searches at around 35 locations in Delhi-NCR, Punjab and Telangana's capital Hyderabad.
Official sources informed on Saturday that during the raids against liquor traders, distribution companies and related entities, about one crore cash has been seized from one place. Without disclosing the locations of all the seizures, he said some digital devices and documents have also been recovered. He said the ED officials had arrested a director of a Delhi-based TV news organisation, which is also on the board of a Telugu daily, a city-based businessman whose company imports and distributes various alcoholic beverages and a former Punjab-based businessman. The premises belonging to the MLA were also searched.
The central agency has so far raided more than 103 places and arrested Sameer Mahendru, managing director of liquor baron and liquor maker Indospirit, last month. The money laundering case stems from a CBI FIR, in which Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was made the main accused.
