ED Names Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal And AAP As Accused In Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today filed a fresh supplementary chargesheet, naming Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for the first time as an accused in the money laundering case related to the now scrapped Delhi liquor excise policy.

The central probe agency has also named Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as an accused in the case. The ED told Supreme Court it discovered chats between Arvind Kejriwal and hawala operators regarding the alleged proceeds of crime in the excise policy case.

The agency claims the chats have been recovered from the devices of hawala operators after Kejriwal refused to share the password of his devices. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on 21st March after he skipped nine summonses issued to him by the agency.
