ED Attaches Rs 115 Crore Assets in Delhi Liquor Scam Probe

The Enforcement Directorate has attached assets worth over Rs 115 crore in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. The assets belong to TDP's candidate Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy's son and Aurobindo Pharma's promoter. The ED's chargesheet also implicates other key political figures and outlines alleged kickbacks.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets exceeding Rs 115 crore belonging to two of its approvers in the Delhi excise policy scam probe. These assets are linked to Raghav Magunta, son of TDP's Lok Sabha candidate Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy, and Sarath Chandra Reddy, Aurobindo Pharma promoter.

The chargesheet, filed by the agency on May 10, accuses former Telangana chief minister and BRS leader K Chandrashekar Rao's daughter, K Kavitha, of involvement. A special PMLA court acknowledged this prosecution complaint on May 29.

The south group, allegedly headed by Kavitha, is accused of making a Rs 100 crore payment to the AAP to manipulate the Delhi excise policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped. The ED noted that the south group also funded AAP's Goa campaign using these kickbacks.
