Kejriwal kingpin of Delhi liquor scam, ED says in court; seeks 10-day remand
Kejriwal was the kingpin and key conspirator of the liquor policy which was made in a way to enable taking of bribes.
The Enforcement Directorate produced Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Rouse Avenue court on Friday and told the court that Kejriwal was the kingpin and the key conspirator of the Delhi liquor policy scam. Seeing a 10-day remand for the chief minister, ASG SV Raju told the court that Kejriwal was involved in the use of the proceeds of the crime and was directly involved in the formulation of the policy. The policy (excise) was made in such a manner that it enabled the taking of bribes. Vijay Nair was the middleman between the Aam Aadmi Party and the south cartel, a key exponent of which was K Kavitha --already arrested.
Vijay Nair was staying near Kejriwal's house and was closely working with the chief minister who demanded kickbacks from liquor barons for extending favours under their policy.
Arvind Kejriwal demanded ₹100 crore from some accused from the South group for the Punjab election, the ED told the court. The agency also said Kejriwal himself met with Kavitha and said they should work together for the liquor policy.
