Without any doubt, the Delhi Excise Scam sent shocking waves across political circles. Big names from a few states were mentioned as the accused in the case and a few people were arrested already. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was arrested and sent to Tihar jail in connection with the case.
The opposition parties in the nation condemned this and wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that the central agencies are misused and that what happened with Manish Sisodia was not right. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged that it is a shame how Sisodia is handled.
Now the case saw another big development with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arresting Hyderabad Businessman Ramachandra Pillai. It is said that he was arrested during the late hours of Monday. As of now, 11 people were arrested by the ED in connection with the scam.
Earlier, Ramachandra Pillai was mentioned as one of the accused in the case. The investigating agency raided the residences and offices of him and people who are related to him earlier. It is said that he is close to Telangana Chief Minister KCR's daughter Kavitha, one of the accused in the much-talked-about case. She was questioned by the CBI in the case at her residence.
Arun Ramachandra Pillai's arrest raised many eyeballs as the Hyderabad-based Businessman is said to have links with a few big shots in the state. Now a debate is going on whether his arrest would bring new names in the case once the probe gets deeper.
On the other hand, the BRS leaders are alleging that Kavitha was framed in the case to target the Chief Minister. Kavitha is also saying the same as her father KCR is focusing on national politics. In her recent interview with a popular news channel, the former MP said the same.
The alleged scam says that hundreds of crores were involved in this as the accused benefited. The Aam Aadmi Party government in the national capital Delhi started an excise scheme to make private companies supply liquor to people. The BJP alleged that the scam is a big one.
