Rouse Avenue Court Directs ED To Provide Documents In Delhi Liquor Policy Case

In a significant development in the money laundering case related to Delhi liquor policy, the Rouse Avenue Court has directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to provide soft copies of unverified documents to the lawyer of the alleged accused. The court mandated that these documents be shared before the next hearing, scheduled for November 4.

The ED’s eighth charge sheet identifies the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its convener, Arvind Kejriwal, as the primary accused. According to the ED, Kejriwal is the main conspirator in the alleged excise scam, which involves several AAP leaders and private individuals.

To date, 18 individuals, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, have been arrested in connection with Delhi liquor policy case. Notably, almost all the accused have since been granted bail.

The ED alleges that Kejriwal collaborated with Delhi government ministers and other AAP leaders to commit irregularities while amending the excise policy. The agency claims that license holders were given undue benefits, including waivers or reductions in license fees.

Furthermore, the ED had previously informed the lower court that an individual named Dhal was actively involved in the excise scam and conspired with other accused parties. Both the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) maintain that significant irregularities occurred during the revision of the excise policy, ultimately benefiting the license holders involved.
