ED Names AAP MP Raghav Chadha In Delhi Liquor Policy Case Chargesheet

In a major development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday, May 2, mentioned AAP MP Raghav Chadha's name in its second supplementary chargesheet in the sensational Delhi liquor policy case.

It is alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government's Excise Policy for 2021-22 to grant licences to liquor traders favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it. The policy was later scrapped. 

Reacting to some media reports, Chadha, in a statement, clarified that he has not been named as an accused in the case. 

“News articles/reportage stating that I have been named as an accused in a complaint filed by the enforcement directorate are factually wrong, incorrect and appears to be part of a malicious propaganda to harm my reputation and credibility. It appears that in the complaint my name is mentioned as an attendee to some meeting though the basis of making such an allegation is not clear. I request the media and publication houses not to cause any incorrect reporting and clarify this issue, lest I will be constrained to take legal action,” Chadha said in the statement.
