His arrest has come in a money-laundering case related to the scrapped Delhi liquor policy of 2021-22 and the probe agency has alleged that he and his party had received kickbacks in exchange for favours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The AAP has claimed there was a conspiracy behind his arrest and the party has organised nationwide protests against it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8216;Key Conspirator&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After spending a night in ED custody, Mr Kejriwal was produced before the Rouse Avenue court in Delhi on Friday. Seeking 10-day custody of the chief minister, the financial crime fighting agency has alleged that he was the &#8220;kingpin&#8221; and a key conspirator in the scam.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The total proceeds of the crime, according to the ED, are Rs 600 crore. It has claimed that the Delhi liquor policy provided an exceptionally high profit margin of 12% for wholesalers and nearly 185% for retailers. Of the 12%, six was to be recovered from wholesalers as kickbacks for AAP leaders and a lobby called the South Group allegedly gave Rs 100 crore in advance to another accused in the case, Vijay Nair, who was linked to the ruling party in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>BRS leader K Kavitha, who was arrested by the ED in the case last week, is alleged to have been a member of the South Group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (Mr Kejriwal) was directly involved in implementation of the policy, and giving favour to the South Group. He demanded kickbacks in exchange for favours&#8230; this is corroborated by statements. He is involved in the use of proceeds of crime,&#8221; Additional Solicitor-General SV Raju, appearing for the ED, told the court on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing for the chief minister, Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi said there was no need to arrest him and that the agency&#8217;s claimed money trail could, at best, be grounds for questioning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/my-life-dedicated-to-nation-arvind-kejriwals-first-reaction-after-arrest-5289683\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The agency has sought 10-day custody of the AAP chief.
