The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is all set to file its chargesheet against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation into a money laundering case associated with the now-defunct liquor policy. This marks the first instance where Kejriwal will be formally implicated as an accused in the excise policy matter.

Within the forthcoming chargesheet, the ED is expected to designate Kejriwal as a 'kingpin' and a pivotal conspirator in the liquor policy debacle, underscoring the gravity of the allegations against him. The investigative agency asserts that it has successfully traced a money trail directly linked to Kejriwal, further solidifying their case against him.
