By: Tupaki Desk | 6 Sep 2022 9:13 AM GMT
The alleged liquor scam in the national capital Delhi continues to raise the political heat in the country. In its inception, the scam sent shocking waves across Delhi and the ruling party Aam Aadmi Party faced the heat, and the residence of the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister was raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI).
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) took charge from the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) in the case and the agency is digging deeper into the case. As part of that, the central agency carried out searches in around 30 cities across the nation. Special teams carried out multiple searches simultaneously.
As per the media reports, multiple searches were carried out in the national capital Delhi, financial capital Mumbai, Gurugram, and Hyderabad. The searches happened in the residences of big names in Hyderabad as well.
The development is not a small thing as the saffron party Bharatiya Janata Party has been strongly alleging that KCR's daughter Kavitha might have a role to play. The point raised by the BJP shocked political circles.
As ED is probing the matter aggressively we might see the political heat increasing in other places as Delhi did. Delhi saw Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's residence raided by the CBI in connection with the alleged scam.
It is also said that a few more raids might happen in the coming days. Though the TRS is alleging that BJP is trying to attack it using the central agencies. The probe is not stopping.
The ED and CBI are probing the matter to look into the alleged wrongdoings and the irregularities that went into the allotment of the liquor licenses. There is also a doubt that money laundering might have happened and the probe is going on to look into that.
Once the allegations against the accused are proven then they may have to face serious cases and jail terms. The CBI already filed the case under the IPC sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 477-A (falsification of accounts). It is said that some of the liquor traders were reportedly given a tax exemption of Rs 30 crores.
