I have also made a confessional statement before the ACMM regarding facts and events pertaining to the commission of alleged offenses’.

Arora said, the application to turn approver in the case has been filed with the request of the grant of pardon to me as I am ready to voluntarily make a true and full disclosure of all the facts pertaining to this case as the same are within my knowledge.

‘I request to be granted a pardon in this case. I have agreed without any pressure, undue influence or coaxing by CBI or any other. I am also ready to abide by all the terms and conditions which the court may impose upon me,’ added Arora.

No pressure, no threats by CBI or anyone else to do this, in response to Court’s question, he said.
