It is alleged that the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22 to grant lic♊ences to liquor traders allowed cartelisation and favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge strongly refuted by the AAP.
The policy was subsequently scrapped and the Delhi lieutenant governor recommended a CBI probe, following which the ED registered a case 🍸under the PMLA.
