The court also granted bail to three co-accused persons — Prince, Damodar and Arvind Singh.
The three accused were charge sheeted without being arrested during investigation by the ED.

The “scam” pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22 which was later scrapped.
The ED arrested Kavitha (46) from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15. The CBI arrested her from Tihar jail.
