ED to summon Arvind Kejriwal again over money laundering case in Delhi excise policy scam

In the money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy scam, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Thursday that it will summon Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal again. The statement from the agency was made amid speculation that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo would be arrested today after the ED would raid his home.

Enforcement Directorate also said that they are reviewing Kejriwal’s reply to the prior summons.

Ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj, among other AAP leaders, claimed to have information indicating that the Delhi Chief Minister is expected to be taken into custody on Thursday following raids at his home by the central investigation agency. Anticipating the ED action, several AAP workers also gathered outside Kejriwal’s house this morning.

Nonetheless, the AAP leaders’ claims were rejected by the Enforcement Directorate. According to sources close to the probe agency, there was no such plan to raid Kejriwal’s home today.

Three summonses have been ignored by Kejriwal; the most recent one asking him appear before the agency on Wednesday. He labelled the summons “illegal” in a five-page response he sent to the case’s investigating officer on Wednesday. He said that the ED’s “obstinacy” amounts to taking on the roles of judge, jury, and that the agency’s “non-disclosure and non-response approach” cannot withstand the test of law, equity, or justice.

Concurrently, the AAP declared that between January 6 and 8, Kejriwal will embark on a three-day tour to Gujarat. In the state, the chief minister of Delhi will address the public at rallies to gear up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
