M’harashtra tells ED-CBI “to take away Wadhawans”

The Maharashtra government has asked the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED) to take custody of the scam-accused DHFL group’s promoters Kapil Wadhawan and Dheeraj Wadhawans – whose institutional quarantine ends this afternoon – state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said here on Wednesday.

“The Wadhawans’ quarantine will end at 2 pm today (April 22). On Tuesday, we have written to the Central Bureau of Investigation and ED to take them into custody,” Deshmukh said.

However, he said that until they are handed over to CBI or ED, they will remain safely in the custody of the state government.

“They will be safe and secure in our custody… Nobody will be allowed to flee to London… When the CBI approaches us we shall hand them over for further investigations,” Deshmukh said.

It may be recalled that a massive political row erupted after the Wadhawans and their families were granted permission to travel from Khandala hill-station in Pune to Mahabaleshwar hillstation in Satara district on April 8 – at the height of the ongoing lockdown.

They were taken into custody on April 9 in Mahabaleshwar and shunted to institutional quarantine in a Panchgani facility.

Later, the Wadhawans had claimed that they were actually escaping from the Covid-19 spread and decided to shift from a rented accommodation in Khandala to their ancestral home in Mahabaleshwar.

Following the controversy in which the CBI and ED also jumped in, the state government ordered a high-level probe into the conduct of an IPS officer who granted the permission for the Wadhawans to hop between hill-stations.
