May 22, 2024
New Delhi [India], May 22 : The Delhi High Court on Wednesday permitted former BharatPe MD Ashneer Grover and his wife Madhuri Jain Grover to travel to the United States of America (USA). They were stopped from boarding a flight in November 2023.
A Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). They had already challenged the LOC. Justice Subramonium Prasad allowed the couple to travel abroad after considering their plea.
Justice Prasad allowed Ashneer Grover to travel from May 26 to June 12. Thereafter, Madhuri Jain Grover has been permitted to travel from June 15.
The High Court has asked Delhi police to suggest the conditions for Grovers to ensure their return to India. Grovers had moved an application seeking permission to travel to the US.
Delhi police opposed their plea and submitted that Ashneer and his wife have a golden visa for UAE and have assets abroad. It was also submitted that Madhuri Jain is not cooperating in the investigation.
Delhi police's EOW is investigating a case related to alleged fraud of Rs 81 crores.
