The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has named Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as accused in a supplementary chargesheet related to the Delhi excise policy case.
The ED alleges that Kejriwal played a key role in formulating the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy, which is being investigated for alleged irregularities.
The agency claims to have evidence of chats between Kejriwal and hawala operators regarding the alleged proceeds of crime in the excise policy case.
Kejriwal has denied the allegations and challenged the ED's case against him in the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has reserved its judgment on Kejriwal's petition and granted him liberty to move the trial court for bail.
The ED's investigation into the Delhi excise policy case is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge in the coming weeks and months.
The case has become a major political issue in Delhi, with the AAP accusing the BJP-led central government of targeting Kejriwal and his party for political reasons.
The BJP has denied these allegations and said that the ED is investigating the case in a fair and impartial manner.
The outcome of the ED's investigation and the Supreme Court's hearing on Kejriwal's petition will have significant implications for the political future of Kejriwal and the AAP.
