Setback for arms consultant, Delhi HC upholds ‘fugitive offender’ tag

Delhi High Court has affirmed a trial court’s decision labeling UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari a “fugitive economic offender” in a money laundering case. The court dismissed Bhandari’s appeal, stating that a failed extradition attempt does not absolve him of Indian law violations. This ruling allows authorities to confiscate his assets.
