Excise “scam” CM kingpin, ED tells High Court

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was the “kingpin” and the “key conspirator” of the “excise scam,” according to the Enforcement Department (ED), which informed the Delhi High Court on Tuesday. Based on information in its possession, the ED had “reasons to believe” that Kejriwal had committed the crime of money laundering.

In response to the AAP leader’s appeal contesting his detention by the agency in the money laundering case associated with the “scam,” the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said that Kejriwal was the conduit through which the political party, which benefited greatly from the profits of the crime, committed the offense.

“Kejriwal is the main organizer and mastermind of the Delhi Excise Scramble, working with AAP leaders, Delhi government ministers, and other individuals.”

Kejriwal participated personally in the policy’s creation. The answer said, “This policy was drafted in consultation with Vijay Nair, Manish Sisodia, and members of the South Group, taking into account the favors to be granted to the South Group.” Judge Swarana Kanta Sharma has scheduled a hearing for the plea for this Wednesday.
