The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has recorded the statement of Sameer Mahendru, the managing director of Indospirit Group, in connection with the case alleging irregularities in the Delhi government’s now-withdrawn excise policy.
On Sunday, the agency had issued Look-Out Circulars (LoCs) against eight of the private persons who have been arraigned in the case, including Mr. Mahendru.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), Mr. Mahendru had transferred about ₹1 crore to the account of Radha Industries, which was managed by accused Dinesh Arora. Another accused, Arun Ramchandra Pillai, had collected money from him for further transfer to a public servant through Vijay Nair, former chief executive officer of Mumbai-based Only Much Louder, an entertainment and event management company.
