The Supreme Court on Thursday, 28 February, allowed the Delhi Police to arrest Amrapali Group CMD Anil Sharma and two directors forthwith in a criminal complaint filed against them.

The apex court also directed attachment of personal properties of Sharma and other directors.

It said the Economic Offence Wing (EoW) of Delhi Police can also arrest Amrapali directors – Shiv Priya and Ajay Kumar in the case.

A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and UU Lalit said, "We had never stopped any agency from arresting the directors, who are presently housed at a hotel under the detention of UP police."

The court is seized a batch of petitions filed by homebuyers who are seeking possession of around 42,000 flats booked in projects of the Amrapali Group.
