New Delhi, May 10 : In yet another development in the excise policy case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to submit its seventh chargesheet, with indications pointing towards the inclusion of the name of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and BRS leader K. Kavitha among the accused, sources said.

ED sources further said that the charges are expected to revolve around allegations of money laundering, with the prosecution complaint set to be filed under relevant sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

According to sources, the agency has finalised a chargesheet targeting several entities, including political figures, as well as certain linked people and companies.

This development came after a thorough investigation spanning several years, following the initiation of the case in 2022.

According to a source, the agency is reportedly gearing up to present the chargesheet before a special PMLA court in two days.

Furthermore, there are indications that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) might also be implicated in the chargesheet, marking a broader scope of involvement in the alleged irregularities surrounding the excise policy.

In addition to naming the accused, the ED is expected to pursue the attachment of fresh evidence related to the case.

The ED in its submission in the court claimed that Kejriwal is the kingpin and the key conspirator of the alleged excise scam in collusion with ministers of Delhi government, AAP leaders and other persons.
