Hi everyone, the recent arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has become quite controversial, and in this video I've explained the same!
Background:
The Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government had passed a new excise policy. The initiative was short-lived, lasting approximately a year and being bombarded by allegations of bribery and fraud.
According to an Enforcement Directorate chargesheet, the Delhi Excise Policy (2021-22) was created by the top leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party to continuously generate and channel illegal funds to themselves.
In July 2022, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena recommended a CBI probe into the alleged flouting of rules and procedural flaws when it came to the implementation of the policy. Following this, the ED and CBI had registered cases alleging that irregularities were committed while modifying the Excise Policy.
AAP's REPLY
The AAP, however, insisted that the new policy was formulated to ensure the generation of optimum revenue, eradicate the sale of spurious liquor or non-duty paid liquor in Delhi, and improve overall user experience.
ALLEGATIONS
- The ED on March 22 also alleged that Kejriwal received several crores of rupees as kickbacks from the 'South group' for formulating and implementing the Delhi Excise Policy.
- The charges include granting undue favors to license holders, waiver or reduction of license fee, and extension of L-1 license without the competent authority's approval.
- Arvind Kejriwal acted as a middleman between the 'South group' and the accused in the liquor scam, ED told the Delhi court while seeking Delhi CM's 10-day custody.
