State (CBI/ED) vs Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia & Others — Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 Corruption and Money Laundering Case
The CBI registered an FIR in July 2022 alleging that Delhi's Excise Policy 2021-22 was manipulated to facilitate monopolisation and cartelisation of the liquor trade, with AAP leaders allegedly receiving kickbacks from liquor manufacturers. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) separately registered a money laundering case under PMLA. On 27 February 2026, the Rouse Avenue Special Court (PC Act) discharged all 23 accused — including former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia — holding that no prima facie case was made out and criticising the CBI's investigation. The CBI has since challenged the discharge order before the Delhi High Court — that revision is currently being heard by Justice Manoj Jain after Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma withdrew following contempt proceedings she had initiated against the accused. A parallel ED/PMLA case remains active at the Rouse Avenue Court, the hearing of which was directed to be deferred pending the High Court's disposal of the CBI revision.
