The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday filed a chargesheet against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with its corruption probe into the now scrapped 2021-22 Delhi excise policy, calling him one of the conspirators of the criminal conspiracy.
In a related development, the Delhi High Court on Monday reserved its order on the bail plea by Kejriwal in the corruption case.
The verdict was reserved by Justice Neena Bansal Krishna after hearing the counsel appearing for the AAP leader as well as the CBI.
In the trial court, the CBI filed a chargesheet against Kejriwal alleging the AAP received kickbacks worth `100 crore.
The CBI, which first questioned Kejriwal in April 2023, has so far filed five chargesheets in the case against 18 accused including Kejriwal’s former deputy, Manish Sisodia, and Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha. The CBI said the one filed today, will be its final charge sheet in the case.
