CBI’s latest move shakes the state
Opportunity to give notices to prominent people in Telangana
Today- Delhi, Hyderabad: CBI has arrested Boinapally Abhishek, director of Hyderabad-based Robin Distribution LLP in the Delhi liquor smuggling case. There are allegations that Robin Distribution LLP acted to benefit some companies in the formulation of liquor policy. CBI officials summoned Abhishek to Delhi on Sunday to attend the hearing in this case. Later he was arrested. He was produced before the Rouse Avenue court in Delhi on Monday. The CBI officials asked the judge to remand Abhishek for five days in order to get more information from him. The judge allowed three days in custody. Abhishek’s arrest is creating a stir in the state.
Arun Ramachandran Pillai is an accused in the FIR registered by the CBI in this case. Officials conducted searches at Arun’s house along with the company Robin Distribution LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) of which he is a director. Along with Arun, Boinapalli Abhishek is also the director of Robin Distribution. With this, the CBI officials focused on Abhishek’s businesses and activities. The CBI alleges that Mahendru gave Rs 2 crore to Rs 4 crore cash on behalf of Vijay Nair to Arjun Pandey, a follower of Manish Sisodia. Some of this money is suspected to be stolen. Apart from Ramachandran Pillai, the arrest of Abhishek has become a topic of discussion in this case. It is believed that the arrest was made strategically because of his connections in the state.
CBI and ED have already collected information regarding Abhishek’s businesses. SS Mines and Minerals LLP, Master Sand LLP, Valucare Aesthetics Ltd, Neoverse Realty, Anoo’s Health and Wellness, Agasthi Ventures LLP, Robin Distribution LLP, Juice Networking Pvt Ltd, Anoo’s Electrolysis and Obesity have been primarily identified as his holdings. Gorantla Associates, who were conducting auditing for these companies, were also searched. It was revealed that Pillai had business partnerships with several prominent people from the state. The investigating agencies suspect that Abhishek played a key role on his behalf and collected donations by acting as an intermediary for many liquor companies in the south. According to reliable information, the CBI is likely to issue notices to the prominent people of the state to attend the investigation within this week. It is expected that more important developments will take place at the center of the state in the coming days. The ED has recently issued a notice to a person named Rahul from Hyderabad on suspicion of being related to this case. Family members said that he is abroad and will attend the inquiry after returning from there.
This is the background..
The CBI stepped into the fray after the Lieutenant Governor wrote a letter asking for an inquiry into the irregularities in the formulation of the liquor policy of the Delhi government. An FIR has been registered against 16 people including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. Cases have been registered against Arava Gopalakrishna, a Telugu person who served as Delhi Excise Commissioner, and Ramachandra Pillai from Hyderabad, while Sisodia is the first accused. In this case, CBI and ED conducted searches in many cities including Delhi and Hyderabad. The former CEO of Only Much Louder, Vijay Nair, was arrested by the CBI last month. Abhishek’s arrest is the second.
