The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a supplementary chargesheet in Rouse Avenue Court against Vinod Chauhan, accused in the money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor policy scam. The court is scheduled to hear on July 1 regarding the cognizance of this supplementary chargesheet. According to the ED, Vinod Chauhan allegedly delivered bribes to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the Goa elections. The ED also asserts that Chauhan was aware that this money was the proceeds of crime from the Delhi liquor scam.
Bribe to AAP for Goa Elections
The ED claims that the bribe money was delivered through hawala channels. Recently, the ED recorded Vinod Chauhan’s statement under Section 164. Chauhan is accused of transferring cash as a bribe provided by the South Group for AAP’s election campaign during the Goa Assembly elections. His arrest was based on the testimony of an employee of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha.
Statement from K. Kavitha’s Employee
On July 8, 2023, an employee of K. Kavitha gave a statement revealing that, following instructions from Abhishek Boinpalli, he collected two heavy bags full of cash from Dinesh Arora’s office and handed them over to Vinod Chauhan. Subsequently, he collected two more cash-filled bags from an address in Todapur and delivered them to Chauhan. It is alleged that Vinod Chauhan then transferred this money to the Aam Aadmi Party through hawala for their election campaign in Goa.
