The agency has said that the accused were in touch with him regarding the preparation of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh apart from communications in-charge of the party Vijay Nair have been arrested in this case by the ED till now.<br \/>\nThe ED had claimed in its charge sheet that the AAP used \u201cproceeds of crime\u201d to the tune of about Rs 45 crore in its Goa election campaign.<br \/>\nThe agency is also expected to file a fresh supplementary charge sheet in the case and may name the AAP as a \u201cbeneficiary\u201d of the alleged kickbacks that were generated through the excise policy.<br \/>\nIt is alleged that the Delhi government\u2019s excise policy for 2021-22 to grant licences to liquor traders allowed cartelisation and favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge repeatedly refuted by the AAP.<br \/>\nThe policy was subsequently scrapped and Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena recommended a CBI probe, following which the ED registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
