The Aam Aadmi Party in a press conference on Saturday alleged that the BJP has received money from a company linked with the Delhi liquor policy case via electoral bonds. 

Delhi minister Atishi said that the ED hasn't found a money trail linking AAP leaders to the alleged corruption in the Delhi liquor policy case.

She added that now they have proof of money trail between the BJP and Aurobindo Pharma. 

The AAP leader also said the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday merely based on the statement of one Sharad P Reddy.

Reddy, of Aurobindo Pharma, was arrested by the ED in November in connection with the excise policy case. He gave crores of rupees to the BJP through electoral bonds, she claimed.

A local court on Friday remanded Kejriwal in ED custody till March 28 "for his detailed and sustained interrogation" regarding his role in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

Atishi also challenged the ED to file a case against the BJP, saying the money trail of the so-called excise policy scam leads to the saffron party.

The Delhi minister alleged that the BJP received "proceeds of crime" in its bank accounts and said the central agency should arrest the saffron party's chief JP Nadda in the matter.
