"ED Is Extortion Department, Shut It Down": AAP On Charge Against Officer

The party was reacting to the CBI registering an FIR against an Enforcement Directorate officer in connection with an alleged bribery of Rs 5 crore in the Delhi excise policy scam case.

The AAP on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to shut down the Enforcement Directorate after the CBI booked an assistant director with the federal agency on bribery charges. 

The CBI registered an FIR against ED Assistant Director Pawan Khatri in connection with an alleged bribery of Rs 5 crore by liquor businessman Amandeep Dhall to evade action in the Delhi excise policy scam case, officials said.   

Addressing a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been investigating the "so-called" excise policy scam for the last one year.
