The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is set to file its inaugural chargesheet against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal concerning a money laundering probe linked to the now-defunct liquor policy. This marks the first instance where Kejriwal will be named as an accused in the excise policy matter.

In the anticipated chargesheet, Kejriwal is termed a 'kingpin' and a principal conspirator in the liquor policy investigation.

This development coincides with a scheduled Supreme Court hearing on Friday regarding an interim bail plea for Kejriwal in the liquor policy case.

During proceedings on Wednesday, Justice Sanjiv Khanna instructed Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the ED, to prepare submissions for the upcoming session on Friday.

“We will pronounce the interim order (on interim bail) on Friday. The main matter related to the challenge to arrest will also be taken on the same day," stated Justice Khanna.

Earlier attempts by Kejriwal to secure relief from the Supreme Court were unsuccessful, as the bench declined to issue an interim bail order, preventing him from campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections.

The bench expressed reluctance in allowing Kejriwal to fulfill his official duties if released on interim bail, citing potential conflicts of interest.

Kejriwal was detained by the ED on March 21 in connection with the liquor policy case and is currently detained in Delhi's Tihar Jail.
