New Delhi, Mar 23 (IANS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is the "kingpin and key conspirator" in the now-scrapped excise policy case in collusion with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ministers, leaders and other persons.

Kejriwal, who was sent to ED custody on Friday by a Delhi court till March 28, was directly involved in the conspiracy of formulation of the excise policy to "favour certain persons" and also involved in the "demanding kickbacks from liquor businessmen" in exchange of favours granting in the said policy, the probe agency claimed.

The policy in question was being drafted considering the favours to be granted to the 'South Group' and was formed in collusion with Vijay Nair, Manish Sisodia, and members-representatives of the 'South Group'.

    "In these two years, a question has come up again and again - Where is the money trail? Where did the money go? No proceeds of crime were recovered from any leader, minister or worker of AAP," said Atishi, who is No. 2 in the Delhi government. Countering probe agency ED's claims, AAP's Atishi said that the money trail in the case led to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. She based her claims on the fact that Aurobindo Pharma director Sharath Chandra Reddy, who was also arrested in the case in 2022, has donated to the Bharatiya Janata Party through electoral bonds.
