Share:

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet in the Delhi liquor scam case. According to the ED chargesheet, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had spent the money raised through the liquor scam in the Goa Assembly elections. At the same time, Delhi CM and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal has termed the charge sheet filed by the ED in the court after a long investigation as fictitious.

The central agency probing the Delhi liquor scam has filed a supplementary charge sheet in Delhi's Rose Avenue Court on Thursday, February 2, 2023. AAP communications in-charge Vijay Nair, businessman Sarath Reddy, Binoy Babu, Abhishek Boenpalli, and Amit Arora have been named as accused in the charge sheet. However, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has not been named in the ED chargesheet. The ED has told the court that the investigation of the case is still going on.

According to the probe agency, on the instructions of AAP communications in-charge Vijay Nair, volunteers who were part of AAP's survey teams during the Goa election campaign were given cash of around Rs 70 lakh. The chargesheet further stated that Vijay Nair had taken a bribe of Rs 100 crore from a South Indian group on behalf of AAP. The group is linked to Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, MP from the ruling YSR Congress Party in Andhra Pradesh, his son Raghav Magunta, and Aurobindo Pharma Director P Sarath Chandra Reddy.

According to the ED chargesheet, bribes were taken for licenses under the new excise policy. The payment of the bribe amount was arranged by Hyderabad-based businessman Abhishek Boenpalli along with Dinesh Arora, a close aide of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The charge sheet also revealed that there was a conversation between Indospirites owner Sameer Mahendru and Arvind Kejriwal on a FaceTime video call. According to the ED, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had allegedly asked Sameer Mahendru to believe Vijay Nair. Kejriwal had reportedly told Mahendru, "Vijay is my boy, you should believe him and walk with him.'' 

Kejriwal calls ED charge sheet 'fabricated':-

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has termed the ED's charge sheet as completely fabricated. He claimed that the ED has filed more than 5,000 charge sheets during the tenure of this government. How many have been convicted in these cases? He termed all the cases as false and said that the ED is being used to destabilize and topple the state governments.
