Vijay Nair Interim Bail Plea
Subject : Criminal - Money Laundering
A special court in Delhi has issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on a plea filed by Vijay Nair, former communications in-charge of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), seeking interim bail on health grounds in a money laundering case connected with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. Special Judge MK Nagpal directed the ED to file its response to Nair’s plea by January 18 and also directed the jail superintendent concerned to submit the medical report of Nair..
.
Nair was arrested in the money laundering case in November 2022. The ED has alleged that Nair was involved in meeting the other co-accused persons, liquor manufacturers, and distributors at various hotels in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi for arranging “ill-gotten money through hawala operators.”.
.
The money laundering case arises out of a case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the alleged irregularities in formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped policy. The investigating agencies have alleged that there were irregularities in formulation and implementation of the policy to help private liquor players gain illegal benefits in exchange of kickbacks..
.
Nair has denied the allegations levelled against him by the central investigative agencies and has maintained that he is being victimised by the central agencies for his affiliation with AAP. He has also denied that he was involved in any way in drafting, framing, or implementation of the scrapped Excise Policy and has said that he was just AAP’s media and communications in charge.
