New Delhi, May 21: The Enforcement Directorate on Friday recovered 151 liquor bottles after it raided multiple premises linked to businessman Navneet Kalra and his associates in Delhi-NCR as part of a money laundering probe linked to a recent case of alleged hoarding and black-marketing of oxygen concentrators, officials said.
The central probe agency, according to official sources, has widened the ambit of the investigation being conducted against Kalra by the Delhi Police Crime Branch, as it suspects that 7,000 oxygen concentrators were transacted by the restaurateur and his aides as the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country. The concentrators are in short supply as they are being anxiously scoured by those gasping for breath due to the high rate of infection of coronavirus. The sources said the searches were conducted on at least 14-15 premises in the national capital region. (PTI)
