Delhi excise policy scam: In a money laundering case connected to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, which also allegedly involved Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday filed a supplementary charge sheet before a court here against five people and seven entities.
However, the ED did not specifically designate Mr. Sisodia as an accused party in the case and informed the judge that more investigation is ongoing.
The report was submitted to Special Judge M.K. Nagpal, who will review the case on Saturday.
Currently, the 2021–22 policy is no longer in effect due to charges of irregularities.
The charge sheet names Vijay Nair, Sharath Reddy, Binoy Babu, Abhishek Boinpally, and Amit Arora.
The federal investigative agency has submitted a second prosecution complaint (charge sheet) in this matter, registered under several sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The initial one was submitted in November of last year.
According to reports, the most recent charge sheet names a total of 12 entities, including individuals who have been arrested by it in connection with the case thus far.
The money laundering case began with a CBI FIR in which Sisodia was among the accused. After registering the case, the CBI conducted a raid at the residences of the deputy chief minister and a few Delhi government officials.
Background of Delhi excise policy scam
The excise scheme came under the scanner after the Delhi LG recommended a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. The LG had also suspended 11 excise officials.
