Vinod Chauhan is the 18th individual the ED has detained in relation to this investigation after being placed under arrest under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).In relation to the money-laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained Vinod Chauhan on Friday. Chauhan is accused of transferring bribes purportedly received by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) through hawala, according to sources acquainted with the matter.
The daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, K Kavitha, is a leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, was also arrested by the ED in March. Both are being held at Tihar Prison right now. According to a statement made by a member of the K Kavitha staff, he took two large bags filled with cash from the accused Dinesh Arora’s office at Abhishek Boinpally’s request and gave them to Vinod Chauhan. He later picked up two of these bags carrying cash from a location close to Todapur, Narayana, New Delhi, and gave it to Vinod Chauhan once more. Chauhan subsequently used the hawala route to transfer the same for the AAP’s Goa poll campaign, according to the aforementioned officer.
According to the agency, Kavitha had communication with AAP’s then-communications in-charge, Vijay Nair, who was meeting with lawmakers and spirits industry representatives during the creation and execution of the contentious excise policy that has since been abandoned in the nation’s capital. Under this scheme, it is claimed that industrialist Sameer Mahendru’s Indospirits Group controlled several retail zones in Delhi and that an alleged South Group, of which she was a member, paid payments to the AAP leaders totaling ₹100 crore in advance.
