The Supreme Court Thursday allowed 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 U U 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."
