On Friday, the ED in its latest chargesheet, named Kejriwal and AAP as accused in the excise policy probe.

The ED had earlier claimed that AAP, being a political party, is defined as an association or a body of individual citizens of India under the Representation of the People Act, and hence it can be categorised as a "company" as contemplated under section 70 of the PMLA

The court also extended the judicial custody of BRS Leader K. Kavitha in the parallel case registered by CBI till June 3.

The excise case pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in formulating and executing the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped.
