The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has dropped a legal bombshell by declaring its intention to implicate the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Delhi liquor policy case. This revelation emerged during the bail proceedings of AAP leader Manish Sisodia before the Delhi High Court.

 

In a significant development, the ED informed the court that it plans to name the AAP as a defendant in the ongoing investigation into the Delhi liquor policy case. This announcement adds a new layer of complexity to an already convoluted legal saga surrounding allegations of corruption and money laundering.

 

During the hearing, the ED vehemently opposed Sisodia's bail plea, citing what it described as "concerted efforts" by the accused to delay the trial proceedings. This assertion underscores the agency's determination to pursue all avenues of legal recourse to ensure justice and accountability.

 

The Delhi liquor policy case revolves around allegations of corruption and malfeasance in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which was subsequently scrapped.

 

The ED alleges that a substantial portion of the alleged kickbacks, totaling Rs 45 crore, was utilised by the AAP for its election campaign in Goa in 2022.

 

The ED's contention that AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal is the "kingpin" of the scam further underscores the gravity of the allegations. So far, the ED has filed seven chargesheets in connection with the case, with the latest filed on April 10, naming BRS leader K Kavitha and four others as accused.

 

The legal proceedings have seen several high-profile arrests, including that of Kejriwal himself on March 21, although he was subsequently granted interim bail by the Supreme Court. Similarly, Sisodia, who has been in judicial custody since March last year, continues to face legal scrutiny.

 

The crux of the investigation centres on allegations of irregularities in the modification of the excise policy and the alleged grant of undue favours to licence holders.

 

The implementation of the controversial liquor policy in November 2021 and its subsequent annulment in September 2022 amid corruption allegations have further fueled public scrutiny and legal scrutiny.

 

The unfolding developments in the Delhi liquor policy case underscore the challenges and complexities inherent in tackling allegations of corruption and financial impropriety.

 

As the legal proceedings continue, the case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability in governance.
