A few days ago, the investigating agency ED has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court on the petition filed against the arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the custody of the lower court. In the affidavit, ED told the Supreme Court that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is the mastermind and conspirator of the excise scam. The High Court gave a clear decision after considering all the aspects. ED said that on the basis of evidence available, the High Court has accepted that Kejriwal committed money laundering.
