A Delhi court on Monday sent businessman Dinesh Arora, a co-accused in the excise policy case, to two weeks’ judicial custody till July 31.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) told the court he was not required for further interrogation, but claimed that if released, he may tamper with the evidence, influence the witnesses, or flee from justice.
The counsel for Arora, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on July 6, argued that since the accused was an approver in the CBI case, he should not be kept in a jail cell housing the other co-accused. The counsel said there were “apprehensions to the life of the accused” if he continued to be confined in a jail having any of the other co-accused in the case.
ED had stated that Arora had revealed some crucial facts and names of the individuals who received the proceeds of the crime. Special Judge MK Nagpal granted the request and asked the authorities to send the accused to a separate jail.
