After the arrest of BRS leader K Kavitha last week, the Enforcement Directorate accused her of conspiring with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders in the case. The agency accused Kavitha of paying Rs 100 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party leader.
Investigation has found that Ms K Kavitha and others conspired with top AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, to gain benefits in the formulation and implementation of Delhi’s excise policy,” the education ministry said in a statement.
“In exchange for these benefits, she was involved in paying Rs 100 crore to the AAP leader,” the agency said.
AAP said the agency’s allegations were a “desperate attempt” to malign the image of Mr Kejriwal and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia by “spreading lies and creating a media sensation” on a daily basis.
