What's covered in the Article:

Allegations Against AAP: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of benefiting from illicit funds generated through a criminal conspiracy related to the Delhi Excise Policy case. The CBI claims Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was involved in the formulation and implementation of this policy from the beginning.

Kejriwal's Alleged Plan: According to the CBI's supplementary charge sheet, Kejriwal allegedly had a pre-conceived plan to privatize the Excise Policy and sought financial support for AAP in March 2021 during the policy's formulation.

Vijay Nair's Role: The CBI alleges that Kejriwal’s associate, Vijay Nair, who was recently granted bail, solicited illegal gratification from stakeholders in the Delhi excise business in exchange for favorable policy adjustments. Nair's actions are claimed to have been carried out under Kejriwal's authorization.

Misleading Election Expenditure: The CBI further alleges that AAP's disclosure of election expenditure for the Goa Assembly Elections 2022 was misleading. It reportedly only listed bank transactions, omitting significant cash payments made to vendors, managers, and volunteers.

Illicit Funds for Election Expenses: The investigation suggests that illicit funds from the Excise Policy case were used to cover AAP’s election expenses. The CBI has provided evidence that AAP leader Durgesh Pathak managed election-related expenditures, and Chanpreet Singh Rayat collected and distributed illicit money through hawala channels in Goa.
