The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday filed a new and ninth chargesheet in the money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor product policy. In this chargesheet, the ED has made Vinod Chauhan an accused. Vinod Chauhan was arrested by the federal agency in May during the investigation.
Sources said a fresh and ninth chargesheet was filed before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court here, naming Vinod Chauhan. He was the 18th person to be arrested by the ED in the case.
Earlier, the ED had also detained Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his party colleague and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, BRS leader and former Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter K Kavitha and several liquor businessmen and others.
The ED has mentioned Chauhan’s alleged role in the case in an official document submitted before a court in connection with Kavita’s arrest. “The statement of a staff member of Kavita revealed that she collected two heavy bags full of cash from the office of accused Dinesh Arora on the instructions of Abhishek Boinpalli and gave it to Vinod Chauhan,” the ED said.
“On another occasion, he collected two bags full of cash from an address near Todapur, Naraina, New Delhi and again handed it over to Vinod Chauhan. Chauhan then transferred it for the AAP election campaign in Goa through the hawala route,” the agency said.
