Legal cases and imprisonment
Anca Verma and her husband, Abhishek Verma, faced major legal scrutiny when they were accused of corruption and money laundering. Indian authorities arrested them on June 8, 2012, alleging they bribed defense officials regarding weapons contracts, leading to her imprisonment in Tihar Jail in Delhi.
During her time in custody, author Sunetra Choudhury featured her as a well-known inmate in the book Prison Tales. Her legal team fought her detention, and after her initial bail plea was rejected by the Delhi High Court in March 2015, the court ultimately granted her bail on May 20, 2016, following four years behind bars.
Investigators attempted to freeze offshore bank accounts tied to her in Liechtenstein, but the local government rejected the request from Indian enforcement. By April 2017, a special CBI court in New Delhi completely exonerated her, dismissing the two corruption and money laundering cases against her.
