AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha named in liquor policy chargesheet

New Delhi (India), May 2, 2023: The Enforcement Directorate has included the names of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha in a supplementary charge sheet in the liquor policy case. The charge sheet, however, does not name them as accused.

The investigation agency has mentioned witness statements on a meeting held at the home of arrested former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, in which Chadha’s name was mentioned.

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief, Arvind Kejriwal, along with other party leaders, have been named in the chargesheet. Reacting to media reports that referred to him as an accused, Raghav Chadha slammed the claims as malicious propaganda. He stated that his name was only mentioned as an attendee in a meeting and that there were no allegations against him in the complaints filed by the enforcement directorate.

The case pertains to alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of a new liquor policy in Delhi, which was scrapped within nine months amid allegations. The arrest of Manish Sisodia in February marked a significant development in the case. While the chargesheet has mentioned Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha, they have not been named as accused.
