Moreover, the officials said that both the accused, Raghav and Rajesh were a beneficiary of the conspiracy in which the South Group allegedly paid Rs. 100 crores to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

They allegedly laundered and distributed money received on behalf of AAP for the campaign during the elections in Goa, the officials added.

During the probe in the money-laundering case angle stemming from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the ED has alleged that Raghav Magunta is a manufacturer and involved in the wholesale and retail part of the business which goes against the spirit of the excise policy.

ED also alleged that Magunta owned shares in the company namely Indospirits, which is said to be a vehicle for the recoupment of kickbacks.

Whilst, ED submitted that Joshi was involved in laundering money by raising fake invoices without any underlying service being provided by him.
