The ED has made three arrests this week and nine total in the Delhi excise policy case. On Friday evening, he was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), according to authorities.
Raghav Magunta is likely to appear in a local court, where the Enforcement Directorate will demand his arrest.
The ED has previously claimed that the father-and-son combination were members of the “South Group,” a cartel of booze dealers, distributors, and manufacturers formed as part of the now-cancelled Delhi excise policy.
Last year, it searched properties associated with the Member of Parliament.
In this matter, the ED has so far filed two charge sheets or prosecution complaints.
