CBI files chargesheet against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi excise policy case

New Delhi, july 29

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday filed its supplementary chargesheet against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Rouse Avenue Court in connection with the money-laundering case linked to the now-scrapped excise policy.

The chargesheet was filed following an extensive probe into the alleged misuse of the Delhi excise policy, which is claimed to have involved substantial financial misconduct. 

Earlier in June this year, the CBI arrested Kejriwal in the liquor policy case after the Rouse Avenue Court allowed the agency to examine the AAP supremo in court.

The CBI has charged the Delhi Chief Minister as "one of the primary conspirators" in the excise policy case. The agency said that the ex-media in-charge of AAP and a close associate of Kejriwal, Vijay Nair, was in touch with several liquor producers and traders
