A Delhi court is expected to issue its order on May 31 regarding whether to take cognizance of a supplementary charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in a money laundering case linked to the excise policy. Special Judge for ED and CBI matters, Kaveri Baweja, reserved the order after reviewing the ED’s claim of having sufficient evidence to prosecute Kavitha.
The ED also stated that it has adequate evidence to prosecute Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the same case. The court has scheduled May 28 to consider the supplementary charge sheet filed against Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party. Kejriwal is currently out on interim bail until June 1, following a Supreme Court order that allowed him to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections. He is directed to surrender and return to jail on June 2.
The excise case involves allegations of corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government’s now-scrapped excise policy for 2021-22.
