AAP MP Raghav Chadha on Tuesday refuted the reports about him being named as an accused by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in second supplementary chargesheet in the Delhi Liquor Policy case.
"Factually wrong reports": Chadha
"News articles/reportage stating that I have been named as an accused in a complaint filed by the enforcement directorate are factually wrong, incorrect and appears to be part of a malicious propaganda to harm my reputation and credibiltiy. I have not been named as an accused or even a suspect in any of the complaints filed by the enforcement directorate," Chadha said in a statement.
"There are no allegations whatsoever against me in the said complaints. It appears that in the complaint my name is mentioned as an attendee to some meeting though the basis of making such an allegation is not clear. I vehemently and unequivocally deny commission of any alleged offence in any manner, in relation to the said meeting or otherwise. I request the media and publication houses not to cause any incorrect reporting and clarify this issue, lest I will be constrained to take legal action," He added.
