Manish Sisodia's former secretary C Arvind had told the investigation agency that there was a meeting held at the former deputy chief minister's residence with Chadha in attendance.

The Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi on Monday took cognizance of two prosecution complaints filed by the ED in the money laundering case.

The prosecution complaints were against Arun Ramchandra Pillai, Rajesh Joshi, Amandeep Dhal, Gautam Malhotra, Raghav Magunta and related entities.

Further investigation is continuing to investigate the role of the accused name in ECIR and other persons on various allegations, the court informed the ED.

Advocates Zohaib Hossain and Naveen Kumar Matta appeared for ED. The ED stated that there was sufficient evidence on record to establish the charge of commission of the offence of money laundering against these accused.

Earlier, the first supplementary chargesheet named 12 accused identified as Vijay Nair, Sharath Reddy, Binoy Babu, Abhishek Boinpally, Amit Arora and seven companies. The first chargesheet was filed by the ED in the case against Sameer Mahendru and his related firms.

The ED has yet to file the chargesheet against Manish Sisodia who was arrested on March 9, 2023.

The ED and the CBI had alleged that irregularities were committed while modifying the excise policy, undue favours were extended to licence holders, the licence fee was waived or reduced and the L-1 licence was extended without the competent authority's approval. The beneficiaries diverted "illegal" gains to the accused officials and made false entries in their books of account to evade detection.
