Enforcement Directorate failed to establish money trail against any AAP leader despite multiple raids: Delhi Minister Atishi

Delhi Minister Atishi claims ED unable to establish money trail against AAP leaders in excise policy scam.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has not been able to establish a money trail against any Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader despite multiple raids, arrests and two year-long investigations in the alleged excise policy scam, Delhi Minister Atishi claimed on March 23.

The AAP leader also said the ED arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 21 merely based on the statement of one Sharad P Reddy.

“Mr. Reddy, of Aurobindo Pharma, was arrested by the ED in November in connection with the excise policy case. He gave crores of Rupees to the BJP through electoral bonds,” she claimed.

A local court on March 22 remanded Mr. Kejriwal to ED custody till March 28 "for his detailed and sustained interrogation" regarding his role in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
