NEW DELHI: Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on Wednesday allowed businessman Dinesh Arora’s plea to turn approver in the alleged excise policy case. Dinesh Arora is said to be an aide of Manish Sisodia, according to news agency ANI. Arora had last week moved a CBI court with a request to pardon him as he wanted to become a witness in the case. He told the court that he was “ready to voluntarily make a true and full disclosure of all the facts” without any “pressure, coercion or undue influence” by CBI. “I am ready to make a voluntary and true disclosure regarding my role in the commission of the alleged offences. I have earlier cooperated during the investigation of this case. I have also cooperated in the investigation of this case by CBI and have made two statements before the IO in this regard. I have also made a confessional statement before the additional chief metropolitan magistrate (ACMM) regarding the facts and events pertaining to the commission of alleged offences,” Arora submitted before the court. Earlier, the court had granted anticipatory bail to Arora after CBI did not oppose it. CBI in its FIR has alleged that Arora and others involved in the scam were associates of deputy CM Manish Sisodia who were actively involved in managing and diverting the money collected from liquor licensees.
