While the corruption case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 is being probed by the CBI, a money laundering case is being investigated by the ED.
The money laundering case stems from the CBI's FIR which was lodged after Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena recommended a probe into the alleged irregularities in the implementation of the policy.
According to the CBI and the ED, irregularities were committed while modifying the excise policy and undue favours were extended to the licence holders.
The
Delhi government
implemented the policy on November 17, 2021, and scrapped it by the end of September 2022 amid allegations of corruption.

The five accused arrested by the CBI has been identified as — Vishal Yadav, Shebaz, Durgesh, Abhay alias Raja and Sameer alias Kalia alias Sohail. The CBI also seized 44 laptops and 71 mobile phones during the operation. The cyber criminal network bilked citizens of the US and Canada in meticulously constructed and elaborate deception, with a structured hierarchy of 60 operators who were recruited as callers, verifiers and closers for running the said illegal call centre and obtaining proceeds of crime through gift cards and cryptocurrency, the investigative agency said. The imposters allegedly committed financial frauds by impersonation, making phishing calls from the illegal call centre, posing as Amazon Support Services Call Centre from Rain Forest Resort in Igatpuri, Nashik, the CBI said. "It was alleged in the FIR that the accused persons entered into criminal conspiracy with each other and other unknown persons, and have committed financial fraud by impersonation and making phishing calls/deceptive calls, from an illegal call centre, posing as Amazon Support Services Call Centre," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement. The fake Amazon call centre comprising a coterie of six Mumbai-based fraudsters operated in conspiracy with other unidentified bank officials and private individuals. During the raids, the agency found that 62 people were working in the fake call centre operating live and were involved in the process of cheating foreign nationals.

Court convicts ex-MCD engineer in 2006 case registered by CBI
New Delhi, A court here has convicted a former assistant engineer of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi under IPC section 217 . Court convicts ex-MCD engineer in 2006 case registered by CBI Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Nishant Garg was hearing allegations against accused Vijay Kumar Jain, against whom the Central Bureau of Investigation had registered a case. According to the prosecution, the owners of 15 properties in the west Punjabi Bagh area were booked by the civic body for unauthorised construction in July 2004 but Jain, the then assistant engineer of the MCD, retained the files to prevent action against the properties. In an order dated August 7, the court said, "It can be concluded that accused V K Jain intentionally retained the subject 15 files with him", despite knowing that orders were passed for issuing demolition notices regarding 12 properties and that demolition orders were passed for the three remaining properties. It said Jain retained the files to prevent action being taken against these properties, despite being aware of the Delhi High Court's direction on April 11, 2005, where it had asked the MCD to take action in accordance with law against the properties and file a compliance report within four months. "The prosecution has led sufficient evidence to establish the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, the accused is held guilty for the commission of the offence under section 217 of the IPC and is convicted for the said offence," the court said. The matter has been posted for hearing the arguments on sentencing on Monday. The magistrate rejected the defence's argument that the CBI, despite being aware that, at most, it was a case of misconduct, deliberately lodged an FIR for an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act to bypass the requirement of obtaining permission from the magistrate to investigate a non-cognisable offence. "I am not in agreement with the contention of the defence counsel. Perusal of the preliminary enquiry report reveals that it specifically mentions that accused Jain has committed criminal misconduct and abused his position as a public servant to cause favour to the owners of 15 properties," he said. The magistrate said along with Jain, other MCD officials and the 15 property owners were also made accused in the FIR. "Hence, it cannot be said that the FIR was intentionally registered by the investigating agency under the stringent provisions of the PC Act," the magistrate said. The CBI had registered the FIR under PC Act provisions regarding criminal misconduct by a public servant and under the penal provision for criminal conspiracy against Jain and others. The court had, however, framed charge against Jain under IPC section 217 in July 2018. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
