The Enforcement Directorate case stems from a CBI FIR. The CBI in a recently filed chargesheet in the case claimed that Amit Arora, with two other accused, Dinesh Arora and Arjun Pandey, are‘ close associates’ of Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and were ‘actively involved in managing and diverting the undue pecuniary advantage collected from liquor licensees’ for the accused public servants.

The ED also filed its first chargesheet (prosecution complaint) in the case last week, naming arrested businessman Sameer Mahandru and few other entities in it.
