In connection with the excise policy case, the Rouse Avenue Court on Wednesday remanded Delhi-based businessman Amandeep Singh Dhall to CBI custody till 21 April, 2023. Dhall is the director of Brindco Sales and was previously detained by the ED in connection with an alleged money-laundering scheme involving an excise fraud. The CBI detained Amandeep Dhall on Tuesday from Tihar Prison in connection with an excise policy corruption investigation.
On Wednesday, Special Judge MK Nagpal granted the CBI’s request for Dhall to remain in custody. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was permitted last week by the same court to inspect and question Dhall in Delhi’s Tihar Prison regarding the suspected excise policy scam.
Dhall was lodged in Tihar Jail, in judicial custody, in connection with a money laundering case, which is tied to the excise case. He has moved a bail plea in the ED case and a hearing on the same has been scheduled for 26 April.
The CBI, through an application, stated, “Some fresh evidence has surfaced which requires further examination of Amandeep Singh Dhall to unearth the conspiracy hatched between the accused in relation to the Excise case”.
The executive director of Brindco Sales Private Limited, Dhall was arrested on 1 March, 2023, by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the Excise case.
