The ED had told in its supplementary charge sheet filed in May that Dinesh is special to Sisodia. He used to take money from another businessman Amit Arora and send it to Sisodia.
ED has arrested businessman Dinesh Arora on Thursday night in the Delhi liquor policy case. He is accused of money laundering. ED has described him as close to former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia.
According to him, Dinesh had met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal regarding the excise policy. ED had said in its charge sheet filed in the past that Dinesh was working closely with AAP leader Vijay Nair.
Although Vijay Nair has already been arrested by ED, he is currently in judicial custody. According to media reports, on November 16 last year, the CBI appealed to a Delhi court and made Dinesh its witness in the same case, saving him from arrest.
