If Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) benefited from Delhi's now-scrapped liquor policy, why is it not an accused in the money laundering case relating to alleged irregularities, the Supreme Court asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) today.
The bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SV Bhatti was hearing a request for bail by Manish Sisodia, Delhi's former Deputy Chief Minister who was arrested in February in a money laundering case linked to the excise policy.
"As far as PMLA is concerned, your whole case is that the benefits went to a political party. That political party is still not made an accused or Impleaded. How do you answer that? The political party is the beneficiary according to you," the bench asked.
