New Delhi, 13th Jan. The Enforcement Directorate has issued a fourth summons to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Kejriwal, who is also the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has been asked to appear before the agency on January 18.
This comes after Kejriwal refused to appear before the ED for the third time on January 3, stating that the agency’s approach is unfair and unjust.The chief minister was previously asked to appear on November 2 and December 21, 2023.
The case revolves around allegations that the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22 favored certain liquor traders who had allegedly paid bribes for it. The AAP has repeatedly denied these allegations.
The policy was later scrapped and a CBI probe was recommended by Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, leading to the ED registering a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
