Delhi Court Allows Accused to Turn Approvers in Delhi Liquor Scam Case

Hyderabad: Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court, hearing the Delhi liquor scam money-laundering case, has allowed the petitions of some the accused persons to turn approver, including YSRC MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy’s son Magunta Raghav and Dinesh Arora, close aide of Delhi's former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.

Special Judge M.K. Nagpal directed them to cooperate with the investigation and disclose all information they have about the case to the investigators.

The ED arrested Arora in July, when he was declared an approver in a related corruption case being probed by the CBI.

Raghava, main accused in the liquor scam, was arrested by the ED in February 2023. He was granted bail on health grounds in July. Raghava is the owner of liquor manufacturing units located in Chennai and, according to the ED, controlled two retail zones in violation of the excise rules.

Earlier, Sharath Reddy, director of Aurobindo Pharma, accused in the case, had turned approver.
