Enforcement Directorate is likely to file a chargesheet against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday, the day when the top court is expected to announce its verdict in the bail case, as per media reports.
Earlier, the Supreme Court pushed forward the verdict on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's interim bail plea and said that it may announce the order on Thursday or next week, without specifying the date. The SC raised concerns regarding the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) prolonged investigation into the excise policy-linked money laundering case involving Kejriwal.
The SC bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta told Arvind Kejriwal's counsel Abhishek Singhvi that if it were to give interim bail to the Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor, it doesn’t want him to be performing official duties as the CM as it could lead to a conflict somewhere.
The court directed the probing agency to present case files both before and after the arrest of Kejriwal, emphasising transparency in the investigation process.
