Excise policy ‘scam’: Delhi court directs suspension of look out circular against approver Arora
Arora had moved an application seeking closure of the LOC issued against him, release of his passport, and permission to visit Milan, Italy and London, from December 21 to December 30 "for the purpose of hospitality business".

A Delhi court has directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to suspend the look out circular (LOC) against Dinesh Arora, accused-turned-approver in the money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
Arora had moved an application seeking closure of the LOC issued against him, release of his passport, and permission to visit Milan, Italy and London, from December 21 to December 30 “for the purpose of hospitality business”. The court of Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of Rouse Avenue Court, in an order dated December 16, approved the demands of the application.
The CBI arrested Arora in 2022 in connection with the corruption case linked to the “scam”. In July 2023, he was arrested by the ED. He was granted bail after he turned an approver in the cases.
His application was opposed by the ED on the ground that there was a “serious apprehension” that he was a flight risk and could put the trial in jeopardy. Arora, a Delhi-based restaurateur, was accused of being a “conduit for kickbacks” between the ‘South Group’ and the AAP.
