Enforcement Directorate attaches assets worth over Rs 52 crore in money laundering case involving AAP leader Manish Sisodia
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth more than Rs 52 crore in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy. The attached assets include immovable properties worth Rs 7.29 crore, including two assets belonging to Manish Sisodia and his wife Seema Sisodia. The movable assets worth Rs 44.29 crore, including bank balances of Manish Sisodia worth Rs 11.49 lakh, have also been attached. The total value of the attachment is Rs 52.24 crore.
Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister of Delhi, was arrested by the ED in March in connection with this case and is currently in judicial custody.
Delhi government’s excise policy alleged to favor certain dealers
The ED and the CBI allege that the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which granted licenses to liquor traders, allowed cartelization and favored certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes. However, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has strongly refuted these charges. The policy was subsequently scrapped, and the Delhi lieutenant governor recommended a CBI probe. Following this, the ED registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
