The Enforcement Directorate has charged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders as being the masterminds behind the now-scrapped liquor excise policy in Delhi. The central agency has alleged that Kejriwal and his colleagues demanded kickbacks from liquor businessmen in exchange for favors and knowingly used the proceeds of these bribes to fund AAP's Goa election campaign in 2021-2022. With the Rouse Avenue court taking cognisance of the chargesheet, Kejriwal may face serious legal consequences if found guilty.
