New Delhi: Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha, two leaders of the AAP, have been named by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in its third supplemental charge sheet in the Delhi excise policy case.
Both of the leaders are Rajya Sabha members. They are not listed as accused in the case; the charge sheet merely lists their names.
The additional charge sheet was recently filed with the Rouse Avenue District Court here.
According to the charge sheet, Chadha was part of a meeting which was held at former Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's residence in connection with the liquor policy case.
Sources said that the ED was recording the statement of an accused businessman Dinesh Arora, who later became an approver in the Delhi liquor policy when the names cropped up.
"He initially met Sanjay Singh through whom he came in contact with Manish Sisodia during a party in his own restaurant, namely Unplugged Courtyard. On request of Sanjay Singh, he spoke to many of the restaurant owners and arranged cheques amounting to Rs 82 lakh (handed over to Sisodia) for collection of party funds for the then-upcoming Assembly elections in Delhi," the ED has mentioned quoting Dinesh Arora.
