The Rouse Avenue court has granted regular bail to five accused in the sensational liquor scam. Two of the five accused who were granted bail are former employees of the Excise Department. It is known that the CBI is investigating the Delhi Excise Policy case, which is popular as a liquor scam.
Rouse Avenue Court Judge MK Nagpal on Tuesday granted regular bail to Sameer Mahendru, Kuldeep Singh, Narendra Singh, Arun Ramachandra Pillai, and Mutha Gautam, accused in the liquor scam. The court had earlier granted interim bail to these five.
CBI has not arrested them till now. Among them, Kuldeep Singh and Narendra Singh are former employees of the Excise Department. Despite being granted bail, businessman Sameer Mahendru is still in judicial custody.

The Rouse Avenue court has already granted bail to Vijay Nair and Abhishek Boinapalli who are accused in the same case. But they too remain in judicial custody due to an ED case registered on charges of excise money laundering. It is known that Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on Sunday in the same case.
The court remanded him till March 4. In the chargesheet filed by the CBI, seven persons have been named as accused in this case. Among them, Vijay Nair and Abhishek Boinapalli were arrested by the CBI.
