The Enforcement Directorate produced Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Rouse Avenue court on Friday and told the court that Kejriwal was the kingpin and the key conspirator of the Delhi liquor policy scam. Seeing a 10-day remand for the chief minister, ASG SV Raju told the court that Kejriwal was involved in the use of the proceeds of the crime and was directly involved in the formulation of the policy.
The policy (excise) was made in such a manner that it enabled the taking of bribes. Vijay Nair was the middleman between the Aam Aadmi Party and the south cartel, a key exponent of which was K Kavitha --already arrested.

What ED told the court against Kejriwal
Vijay Nair was staying near Arvind Kejriwal's house and was closely working with the chief minister who demanded kickbacks from liquor barons for extending favours under their policy.

Arvind Kejriwal demanded Rs 100 crore from some accused from the South group for the Punjab election, the ED told the court.

The agency also said Kejriwal himself met with Kavitha and said they should work together on the liquor policy.

The proceeds of crime were not only Rs 100 crore but the profit made by the bribe givers was also the proceeds of crime.

All vendors paid cash to a certain extent, the ED said.
