Kejriwal promised Rs 90 lakh each to 40 candidates in Goa, money came from South Group: CBI
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday told the Rouse Avenue Court that it has evidence to prove that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised Rs 90 lakh each to candidates from 40 constituencies in Goa. The central agency also said that there is evidence that the money came from the South Group.
Durgesh Pathak was in-charge of Goa elections. All the money spent in the Goa elections was spent on the instructions of Durgesh Pathak. He is an MLA from Delhi. According to news agency ANI, the agency said, “There is also evidence that the money came from the South Group.”
This argument was made during the hearing on CBI’s arguments on the supplementary chargesheet in the excise policy case against Kejriwal and others.
The CBI also moved an application seeking extension of Kejriwal’s judicial custody by 14 days. It said another accused Vinod Chauhan was working with Kavita’s PA, who got bail from the Supreme Court today in a money laundering probe by the ED.
Kejriwal, who appeared through video conferencing, said his sugar level was going down. He first asked for an extension of his judicial custody. After this, the court extended Kejriwal’s judicial custody till September 3. The court has now listed the chargesheet filed against Kejriwal for cognizance on September 3.
