Delhi liquor scam: HC calls for ED's stand on interim bail plea of YSR Cong MP's son
Deccan ChronicleNEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought to know the Enforcement Directorate's stand on a plea moved by Raghav Magunta, the son of YSR Congress Party MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, seeking interim bail in a money-laundering case related to an alleged liquor scam in the national capital. He has challenged a trial court's May 8 order that dismissed his interim bail plea. Other family members of the accused could also take care of his wife, the court had said, adding that Magunta had not contended that nobody from the family was available to discharge the liability. According to the Central Bureau of Investigation and the ED, which are probing the liquor "scam" cases against Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Magunta and others, irregularities were committed while modifying the Delhi excise policy for 2021-22 and undue favours were extended to licence holders.
