Delhi Liquor Policy Scam- ED arrests advertising professional Rajesh Joshi

New Delhi, February 9

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested advertising professional Rajesh Joshi in connection with Delhi excise policy case. 

Rajesh Joshi was placed under arrest under the sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for money laundering and alleged irregularities in the policy. 

The ED in their last chargesheet filed mentioned that the accused in the case diverted funds for ‘kickbacks’ for the Goa assembly polls of last year.

The ED has alleged in a charge sheet submitted to the court that a part of the alleged Rs 100 crore “kickbacks” generated in the scrapped Delhi excise policy were “used” in the 2022 Goa assembly election campaign of the CM Arvind Kejriwal-led party.

The ED has filed two charge sheets or prosecution complaints in this case and has arrested a total of eight people, including Joshi.
