Enforcement Directorate

The Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday fixed May 20 for consideration on ED's Supplementary chargesheet against Arvind Kejriwal and (AAP) as accused in excise policy case

Enforcement Directorate made Aam Aadmi Party a co-accused in the Delhi Excise Policy scam case, filing a charge sheet against a political party for the first time in history.

"We have now found personal chats between Arvind Kejriwal and the hawala operator," Additional Solicitor General SV Raju informed the bench.

ED said a complaint against AAP as co-accused in Delhi Excise Policy Scam case is in the pipeline

Saying that granting bail to Arvind Kejriwal will be discriminatory in nature, Enforcement Directorate said that no politician could be arrested and kept in judicial custody if they are granted interim bail for poll campaigning.

The ED's move will coincide with Kejriwal's interim bail plea in the liquor policy case at the Supreme Court on Friday (10th May). In the chargesheet, the ED would make reference to Kejriwal as a 'kingpin' and main conspirator in the liquor policy case. 

The Delhi Chief Minister was arrested on 21st March this year after having skipped 9 summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

This recovery is in connection with the ongoing investigation into the case of Virendra K. Ram, the chief engineer at the Jharkhand Rural Development Department.
