It appears that there is a twist to the DHFL story. As 25 members of the Wadhawan family took six-hour joyride between Khandala and Mahabaleshwar, all the DHFL employees have donated one day's salary to the PM-CARES fund that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had opened for people to donate to battle the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.

Wadhawan family members along with others were detained by civic officials on Thursday from their Diwan Villa farmhouse in Mahabaleshwar, a popular hill station located more than 300km from Mumbai. Though lockdown is in force, all the 23 persons had travelled from Khandala to Mahabaleshwar on Wednesday evening in their cars.

On Friday, an offence has been registered against DHFL promoters Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan and 21 others, including their family members, for travelling to a hill station in violation of prohibitory orders during the coronavirus-enforced lockdown.

Maharashtra Special Principal Secretary in the Home Ministry Amitabh Gupta, who allegedly gave travel permission to the Wadhawan family from Khandala to Mahabaleshwar amid the COVID-19 lockdown, has been sent on compulsory leave with immediate effect until completion of a probe in the matter.
