# ED Arrests Insolvency Professional Jitesh Gupta in Best Foods Case 2026-08-13T03:07:51+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested insolvency professional Jitesh Gupta on Wednesday under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in the Best Foods case. The ED alleges that Gupta, acting as Resolution Professional, re-admitted spurious claims he had earlier rejected, altering the creditors’ committee. He then facilitated a resolution plan that acted as a front for Dinesh Gupta, the main accused, the agency says. The ED’s investigation also found a banking trail of unexplained payments from Dinesh Gupta’s entities to Jitesh Gupta. The National Company Law Tribunal had already recorded adverse findings against Gupta in September 2025, directing his replacement. Gupta was produced before a special PMLA court, which remanded him to ED custody. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: Best Foods case, Enforcement Directorate, insolvency professional, Jitesh Gupta, money laundering, PMLA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ed-arrests-insolvency-professional-jitesh-gupta-in-best-foods-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
