Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi and leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has been issued a fresh summons by the Enforcement Directorate. This summons marks the ninth in a series of summonses directed towards Kejriwal over his alleged involvement in a money laundering case connected to the Delhi excise policy.
Despite repeated summons from the probe agency, Kejriwal has reportedly skipped eight prior summons. The Enforcement Directorate’s latest directive calls for Kejriwal’s appearance on March 21, adding to the mounting pressure surrounding the case.
Kejriwal recently secured bail in two complaints filed by the Enforcement Directorate, which accused him of evading previous summons. While the court granted bail, it directed the Enforcement Directorate to furnish documents pertaining to the complaints against Kejriwal.
The Enforcement Directorate’s complaints against Kejriwal stem from his purported failure to respond to summonses under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Despite the agency’s repeated efforts, Kejriwal has allegedly not complied with the directives.
In response to the latest summons, Kejriwal reportedly informed the agency of his willingness to provide a statement via video conferencing after March 12. However, the ongoing legal battle and the allegations against him continue to draw attention and speculation.
