NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday told the Supreme Court that it will file a prosecution complaint against Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) concerning a money laundering case linked to the purported excise policy scam.
Representing the ED, additional solicitor general SV Raju said, “We are proposing to file the prosecution complaint (charge sheet) against Arvind Kejriwal and AAP.We will do it shortly. It is in the pipeline.” These declarations were made during the proceedings on Kejriwal’s plea opposing his arrest.
The court, however, barred him from visiting his office or the Delhi secretariat, and sign official files unless absolutely necessary for obtaining the lieutenant governor’s approval.
The case relates to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and execution of the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which has now been scrapped.
