India News : The Vihari Poddar saga is taking an unexpected twist with officials of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) claiming that her husband and Siyaram Mills promoter Abhishek Poddar has been absconding.
Vihari has been languishing in jail since last Friday after trying to sneak in Rs.2.45 crore worth of gold and diamond jewellery into the country. Some of the items were allegedly carried by her in her underwear in an effort to avoid detection.
Vihari's lawyer Ravi Hirani confirmed that "one of those claimed absconding by the DRI is Abhishek Poddar".
Hirani claimed this was nothing but a witch hunt as his client was ready to pay the duty as well as the fine for the goods.
