Excise policy case: Now even court says there's no evidence, says CM

AAP DEMANDS BJP'S APOLOGY

The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday said the court order granting bail to two key accused in a money laundering case related to the now-scrapped excise policy showed the entire case is "bogus", and asked the BJP to tender an apology for levelling false allegations.

On May 6, a Delhi court granted bail to accused Rajesh Joshi and Gautam Malhotra in the money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam, saying the evidence was not sufficient for the case against them to be considered prima facie "genuine".

"However, it is made clear that the observations made in this order are only for the purpose of deciding the bail applications of the applicants and nothing contained in this order shall tantamount to the expression of any opinion on merits of the case," the judge said.

Addressing a press conference here Sunday, senior AAP leader and Delhi Cabinet Minister Atishi stated that the court granted bail to the two key accused in the Delhi excise case and reprimanded the ED for making allegations without any corroborative evidence.
