The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed the Delhi High Court that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will be named as an accused in the upcoming chargesheet in the money laundering case tied to the Delhi excise policy scam. The ED made this announcement while opposing the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The ED claims that the accused are deliberately delaying the trial in the excise policy scam case and that a supplementary chargesheet will be filed soon. The Delhi High Court has reserved its ruling on Sisodia’s bail plea, despite over 250 petitions being filed even though only 17 arrests have been made. The ED recently filed a fresh chargesheet in which it named BRS leader K Kavitha and four others as accused. Kavitha, an MLC of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party, along with three employees from Chariot Productions Media Pvt Ltd, that managed AAP’s Goa campaign – Damodar Sharma, Prince Kumar, and Chanpreet Singh – have been named as accused in the excise policy case. A former employee of India Ahead News Channel, Singh, too has been listed as accused in the most recent charge sheet, sources were quoted as saying by PTI. Eighteen people, including Sisodia, have so far been arrested in the excise policy scam case and this is the seventh chargesheet that was filed in the case.
