Arvind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar, MLA Durgesh Pathak questioned in liquor policy case

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday questioned Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s assistant Bibhav Kumar and AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak in the excise policy-linked money-laundering case, sources said.

“We have recorded their statements under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Both of them had been questioned in this case earlier too,” an ED official said.

Sources said MLA Pathak was questioned in connection with the party’s 2021-22 campaign for the Goa Assembly polls.

The ED has alleged that Rs 45 crore “kickbacks” out of the Rs 100 crore “bribe” provided by the “South Group” were used by AAP for its campaign in the Goa Assembly polls.
