The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a new supplementary chargesheet, naming Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for the first time as an accused in the money laundering case associated with the now-defunct Delhi liquor excise policy for 2021-22 on Friday. The central investigative agency also named the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as an accused in the case.
The ED informed the Supreme Court that it found chats between Arvind Kejriwal and hawala operators concerning the alleged proceeds of crime related to the excise policy case.
The agency claims these chats were recovered from the devices of hawala operators after Kejriwal refused to share the password to his devices.
