Delhi excise 'scam': Hyderabad businessman Reddy turns approver
New Delhi, Jun 1 (PTI) Hyderabad-based businessman P Sarath Chandra Reddy has turned an approver in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam, after a Delhi court allowed his prayer to that effect and granted him pardon. Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is also an accused in the case.
The development may compound the legal woes of other accused in the politically sensitive case, including Sisodia, a towering leader of the AAP, the only regional political outfit that runs governments in Delhi and Punjab.
Special Judge M K Nagpal, who is dealing with CBI and ED cases related to the alleged scam, said on Thursday that Reddy was granted pardon by an order passed on May 29.
