In the charge sheet filed in the court, ED had described Arvind Kejriwal as the kingpin of the Delhi Liquor Policy scam. Former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was also accused of being the mastermind of this scam. ED alleges that Kejriwal and Sisodia made changes in the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, in which a bribe of Rs 100 crore was taken. Out of these Rs 100 crore, Aam Aadmi Party used Rs 45 crore in the assembly elections in Goa. ED has booked BRS Legislative Council member K. for managing the South Lobby. Kavita was also arrested. AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh also had to go to jail in the liquor policy scam.
The matter is also being investigated by the CBI. However, all the people who were arrested by ED and CBI in this scam have now got bail. Ever since the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, BJP was continuously pressurizing him to resign from the post of Delhi CM. After getting bail from the Supreme Court, Kejriwal resigned from the post of Delhi CM and made his cabinet minister Atishi the Chief Minister.
