New Delhi: In a significant development just days before the Delhi Assembly Elections, the Union Home Ministry has granted approval to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to prosecute Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the controversial Delhi liquor policy scam case. This move allows the ED to proceed with action against the leaders under the anti-money laundering law.
The case dates back to March of last year when Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED following the filing of a chargesheet against him in the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court. The arrest was part of the ongoing investigation into the Delhi liquor policy, which was scrapped by the Delhi government after allegations of corruption surfaced.
