A leaked Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on Delhi’s scrapped liquor policy reveals a staggering Rs 2,026 crore revenue loss due to irregularities in issuing licenses. The report highlights lapses, violations, and policy deviations, including ignoring expert panel recommendations and issuing licenses to financially unfit entities. It also claims that some violators were not penalized, and key decisions were made without proper approvals. The report attributes the losses to exemptions, waivers, and unfulfilled infrastructure promises. AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, face legal challenges in connection with the policy's alleged corruption.
