Hello
The court upheld his arrest and subsequent remand holding that ED was able to place enough material and statements of approvers stating that Kejriwal was given money for Goa elections.
On February 28, the top court extended the protection granted to Kavitha from any coercive action in the case.
The ED had claimed Kavitha was linked to a 'South Group' lobby of liquor traders who were trying to play a larger role under the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.
The shortage ahead of festival season is likely to affect the revenue of liquor outlets.
The Excise Department is in favour of the proposal submitted by Bevco to open 190 new outlets.
The new policy would stress on producing wine from crops widely cultivated in the state such as pineapple, banana, cashew and nutmeg.
As if to further prove that the LDF government will in no way encourage liquor consumption, the draft policy has fixed a higher annual fee for bars.
