Food habits being politicised, Kejriwal to Delhi Court over diet chart row
Kejriwal's counsel also told the court that 'aloo puri' was served once as part of prasad to him.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a criminal case against eight people, including former Bihar School Examination Board chairman and four principals, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with the 2016 scam regarding irregularities in the Bihar state board exams.
The central probe agency took cognisance of a Bihar Police FIR and the findings of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to register its own Enforcement Case Information Report, the ED equivalent of a police FIR.
Sources said the agency will probe the possible 'proceeds of crime' generated by the accused and the alleged subsequent creation of illegal wealth by them.

The scam had rocked Bihar in June last year after Ruby Rai, a student of Vishun Roy College in Vaishali district, who had topped in the arts category in Class 12, failed to answer basic questions and went on to describe political science as ‘study of cooking’.
Former Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) Chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh, his former JD(U) MLA wife Usha Sinha and Secretary-cum-Principal of Bishun Roy College in Vaishali Bachha Rai, alleged to be kingpins of the racket, are among 21 persons arrested in the case so far.
The Enforcement Directorate is expected to soon record statements of the accused and also attach their assets.
