Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Accused of Involvement in Liquor Policy Scam

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal played a central role in a scam involving the city’s liquor policy. According to the ED, Kejriwal was identified as the main figure and prime conspirator in the illicit scheme, designed to facilitate bribery.

During a hearing at the Rouse Avenue court, the ED sought a 10-day remand for Kejriwal, asserting that he was directly implicated in the formulation of the controversial liquor policy. Assistant Solicitor General SV Raju informed the court that Kejriwal was intricately involved in utilizing the proceeds of the unlawful activities.

The scheme allegedly involved Vijay Nair acting as a mediator between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a prominent liquor cartel operating in the southern region. Key figures within this cartel, including K Kavitha, have already been arrested in connection with the case. Nair, reportedly residing in close proximity to Kejriwal’s residence, is said to have worked closely with the Chief Minister, orchestrating kickbacks from liquor barons in exchange for favorable treatment under the policy.

The ED’s assertions paint a troubling picture of corruption within Delhi’s administration, implicating the highest-ranking official in the city. As investigations progress, the case threatens to tarnish Kejriwal’s political reputation and raise questions about the integrity of governance in the capital.
