Arving Kejriwal was first arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in connection with a money laundering case tied to the alleged liquor policy scam. While in ED custody, he was further arrested by the CBI on June 26 for corruption charges.
In a recent Supreme Court decision, Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan ruled to grant bail to K Kavitha. This ruling follows a pattern seen in other high-profile cases involving Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders like Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia.
K Kavita is in judicial custody in cases related to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy filed by the CBI and ED. While the CBI is investigating the irregularities in the formulation and execution of the policy to extend undue favours to license holders, ED is investigating a money-laundering case.
Kavitha's remand came on a day Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appeared before a metropolitan court in connection with two complaints filed by the Enforcement Directorate against him for skipping summons in the money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
The AAP dubbed the Delhi excise policy case fake and bogus after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for questioning on December 21 in a related money laundering case.
Party MP Sanjay Singh was arrested by the ED recently after an hours-long raid at his residence in connection with the alleged excise policy scam. Another key party leader Manish Sisodia is in jail in the Delhi liquor policy case.
The development comes after the Supreme Court on Monday denied AAP leader Manish Sisodia's bail pleas in the excise policy case. Sisodia has been in custody since his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26.
The Supreme Court reserved its order on Manish Sisodia's bail plea in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam case.
Then Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26 in the alleged excise policy scam. The Delhi government implemented the policy on November 17, 2021 but scrapped it at the end of September 2022 amid allegations of corruption.
Dinesh Arora is an approver in the Delhi liquor scam case. ED arrested AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Arora's statement that money was given at Singh's residence. The probe agency will confront Arora with Singh to establish the links between the two.
The old excise policy in New Delhi is likely to be extended as the new policy is yet to be announced, sources said. The Delhi government had implemented the old policy in September last year.
The bail application was rejected by Special Judge MK Nagpal who termed it "devoid of any merit".
Manish Sisodia excise policy case:Police moved an application seeking court's permission to produce Sisodia only via vc, after he levelled allegation. Police favoured Sisodia's virtual production contending that bringing him to court creates chaos due to AAP supporters presence, media in corridors.
