More gangs in Hyderabad are raiding the establishments of some manufacturers and traders who are directly or indirectly involved in the scam. ED had earlier arrested Mahendru. This was the second arrest in the Excise policy scam case and the first by the ED. ED officials are not ready to comment on the matter.
This is the third time that the central agency has conducted a raid related to excise policy fraud. So far around 100 places have been raided. The investigating agency is now gathering documentary and digital evidence to root out black money in money laundering. ED is trying to complicate the case by trying to bring out the layers of black money.
