The phones used by Arun Pillai during the period of the scam have not been produced by him during the investigation," ED stated.Further, the chats with Pillai found from other persons' phones have not been found from his phones which were seized during the search that is because Arun Pillai has indulged in the destruction of evidence, the chargesheet stated.Pillai has attempted to create a legal facade by allegedly filing a retraction of all his statements during the period of investigation given u/s 50 of PMLA.

Sarath and MSR were also congratulated for winning retail zones in Delhi.The agency further said that Sameer Mahendru had met BRS leader K Kavitha in early 2022 in Hyderabad at her house. In this meeting, Sameer, Sarath, AP, AB, Kavitha and her husband l were present."In that meeting, Kavitha said to Sameer that Arun is like family to her and doing business with Arun is doing business with Kavitha. She also said that they will take this relationship to a larger scale in multiple states and expand majorly.

Even though there was no enabling provision, a waiver on tendered licence fees was allowed from December 28, 2021, to January 27, 2022, due to COVID-19.This allegedly caused a loss of Rs 144.36 crore to the exchequer, which has been instituted on a reference from the Union Home Ministry following a recommendation from Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
