The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is expected to launch a detailed investigation into the matter. This could lead to summons being issued to Arvind Kejriwal, AAP ministers, and private vendors involved in the liquor policy implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the PAC finds substantial evidence of corruption and financial mismanagement, the Delhi government may face serious legal and political consequences.
