Before the CBI, the ED had arrested Arvind Kejriwal. In its charge sheet, the ED has claimed that Arvind Kejriwal is the kingpin of the alleged liquor scam in Delhi. The ED has also claimed in its charge sheet that Arvind Kejriwal took a bribe of Rs 100 crore for his party from the people of the South Cartel involved in the liquor scam. Apart from this, he had also demanded additional money. ED and CBI have named Arvind Kejriwal as an accused in the liquor scam on the basis of statements of many other accused including Magunta Reddy. The ED also told the court that out of the Rs 100 crore received from the South Cartel, Rs 45 crore was used for campaigning for Aam Aadmi Party candidates in the Goa assembly elections.
At the same time, Arvind Kejriwal says that he has been implicated in a political conspiracy. Kejriwal says that there was no liquor scam in Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal has also said in the court that neither ED nor CBI found a single penny related to the scam nor could both the investigating agencies trace the money trail. Arvind Kejriwal has filed an application in Delhi High Court against his arrest by CBI. If the court grants him bail, then Arvind Kejriwal will be able to come out of jail.
