New Delhi, February 26 – A Delhi court has directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to furnish certain documents to the accused in the money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam involving former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and others.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja issued the order on February 25 after multiple accused individuals claimed they had not received crucial documents related to the chargesheet filed in the case. The court is currently reviewing the case documents and has scheduled the next hearing for March 3.
The case, also involving Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, originates from a probe recommended by Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had registered a case following allegations of irregularities in the formulation and implementation of Delhi's excise policy.
According to the CBI and ED, modifications to the excise policy allegedly involved irregularities, with undue benefits extended to certain license holders. The Delhi government implemented the policy on November 17, 2021, but later scrapped it by September 2022 amid corruption allegations.
The case continues to unfold, with the next hearing set for March 3.
