The Aam Adami Party announced on Wednesday that Sunita Kejriwal, wife of jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, will release a press statement at noon today.
According to sources, Sunita Kejriwal is expected to make significant disclosures.
Earlier on Tuesday evening, Sunita Kejriwal met with the Delhi Chief Minister at the office of the Directorate of Enforcement (ED).
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case linked to a money laundering investigation and was remanded to the ED till March 28.
The case involves alleged irregularities and money laundering related to the formulation and implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2022, which was subsequently annulled.
The case originated from a report submitted by Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar to Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena in July 2022, highlighting purported procedural lapses in the policy’s formulation.
The report cited “arbitrary and unilateral decisions” made by Sisodia, acting as Excise Minister, which allegedly led to “financial losses to the exchequer” amounting to over Rs 580 crore. This report prompted referral to the CBI and subsequently led to Sisodia’s arrest.
Although Kejriwal was not initially named in the FIRs filed by the ED or the Central Bureau of Investigation in the Delhi excise policy case, his name appeared for the first time in the ED’s chargesheet. The agency claimed that he purportedly engaged in a video call with Sameer Mahendru, one of the main accused, and instructed him to continue collaborating with co-accused and AAP communications-in-charge Vijay Nair.
