The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a new chargesheet in the Delhi liquor policy case, naming BRS leader K Kavitha and four others. Alongside Kavitha, Chanpreet Singh, who is alleged to be AAP's fund manager for the Goa elections, as well as Damodar Sharma, Prince Kumar, and Arvind Singh, were mentioned in the charge sheet.
This latest filing marks the seventh chargesheet in the ongoing case. Additionally, it's been reported that a similar complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be filed later.
The chargesheet has been filed under sections 45 and 44(1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) before a designated court.
So far, a total of 18 individuals have been arrested in connection with the case, including the Delhi Chief Minister. Kejriwal was granted interim bail until June 1 by the Supreme Court earlier on Friday.
Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, was arrested by the ED in Hyderabad on March 15. The ED alleges that she is a significant member of the "South Group," accused of paying kickbacks worth Rs 100 crore to the ruling AAP government in Delhi in exchange for a substantial share of liquor licenses in the national capital.
Both the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation are investigating the case.
