A city court on Thursday granted bail to "middleman" Vinod Chauhan in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam. Special Judge Kaveri Baweja granted the relief to Chauhan, who was accused of transferring cash sourced through alleged kickbacks given by the "South Group" to the AAP, for the partys poll campaign in Goa. Chauhan was given bail on a personal bond of Rs 10 lakh. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in May. On June 28, the ED filed a supplementary chargesheet against Chauhan in the case. He was the 18th person to be arrested by the ED in the case, in which the federal agency had also taken into custody Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal, his party colleague and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, BRS leader and former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Raos politician daughter K Kavitha, several liquor businessmen and others. The ED had mentioned Chauhans alleged role in the case in an official document submitted before a court in relation to Kavithas arrest.
