“Medical Miracle: AAP’s Vijay Nair Secures Two-Week Reprieve in Delhi Liquor Policy Case!”

In New Delhi on January 19, a court granted a two-week interim bail to former AAP communications in-charge Vijay Nair in the Delhi excise policy money laundering case on medical grounds. Special Judge M K Nagpal provided the relief, acknowledging the urgent need for medical assistance based on the presented medical reports.

The judge approved the interim bail on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh with one surety of the same amount. During this period, Nair is prohibited from destroying or tampering with evidence, influencing any witnesses, or attempting to do so. The court also directed Nair not to meet or communicate with any co-accused, suspect, or witness in the case.

Furthermore, the judge emphasized that Nair should not engage in any criminal activities or offenses of any nature during the interim bail period. It was also stated that he should not misuse the bail granted for his own treatment or any other purposes.

Nair had been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on November 13, 2022, in connection with the case. Both the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) allege irregularities in modifying the Delhi Excise Policy 2020-21, including the extension of undue favors to license holders, waiver or reduction of license fees, and the extension of licenses without proper authority approval. The alleged beneficiaries are accused of diverting “illegal” gains to the officials and making false entries in their accounting books to avoid detection. PTI UK DIV DIV
