The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday issued Look-Out Circulars (LoCs) against eight of the private persons who have been arraigned in the case that alleges irregularities in the Delhi government’s now-withdrawn excise policy committed by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and others. However, the CBI clarified that no LOC has been issued so far against any of the public servants named in the case.
An agency official identified them as Vijay Nair, former chief executive officer of Mumbai-based Only Much Louder, an entertainment and event management company (Mumbai); Amandeep Dhal, a director of Brindco Sales (Delhi); Sameer Mahendru, who is the managing director of Indospirit Group (Delhi); Buddy Retail Private Limited (Delhi) director Amit Arora; Mahadev Liquors’ authorised signatory Sunny Marwah, Dinesh Arora; Arun Ramchandra Pillai and Arjun Pandey.
In the First Information Report, the CBI has named 15 accused persons. They include four public servants — Mr. Sisodia, the then Excise Commissioner Arva Gopi Krishna, Deputy Commissioner Anand Tiwari, and Assistant Commissioner Pankaj Bhatnagar. The role of several other government servants and private persons is also being probed.
