It is alleged that the delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22 for granting licenses to liquor traders
encouraged factionalism and benefited some dealers, who allegedly paid bribes for it. AAP has denied this
allegation. This policy was canceled after the Lieutenant governor of delhi recommended the Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) to investigate the matter. Following the recommendation of a cbi investigation, the ED had
registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
