ED Arrests Insolvency Professional Jitesh Gupta in Best Foods Money Laundering Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested insolvency professional Jitesh Gupta on August 12, 2026, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with the Best Foods money laundering case. Gupta acted as the Interim Resolution Professional and liquidator for Homestead Infrastructure Development and Golden Peacock Residence during their insolvency processes. The ED alleges he re-admitted fraudulent claims, altered creditor committees, and facilitated a resolution plan benefiting Best Foods promoter Dinesh Gupta, who was previously arrested. The National Company Law Tribunal had earlier found Gupta acted beyond his authority and ordered his replacement.
