Delhi Excise Policy case: Rouse Avenue Court sends two businessmen to judicial custody

NEW DELHI: The Rouse Avenue Court on Monday sent two businessmen to judicial custody in connection with ED's ongoing money laundering probe into the Delhi Excise policy 2021-22.

Special Judge MK Nagpal on Monday decided to send businessmen P Sarath Chander Reddy and Binoy Babu to judicial custody till December 5, 2022.

Both businessmen were produced before the court on Monday after the end of their ED remand.

The businessmen are Sarath Chandra Reddy and Binoy Babu.
