Delhi Court Orders Confiscation of Sanjay Bhandari's Assets

A Delhi court ordered the confiscation of properties worth Rs 30 crore from UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act.

Declared a fugitive by a special judge last year, Bhandari is implicated in a money laundering case. His assets include nine houses, 30 bank accounts, and various valuables in India.

The Directorate of Enforcement has faced hurdles in proving that some properties are part of illicit proceeds, requiring further legal scrutiny.
