Arvind Kejriwal

The ED has also filed a prosecution complaint against five entities, including three alleged associates of Khan who were apprehended by the agency in November 2023.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal faces new ED summons in the excise policy case after being found guilty by a local court of disobeying earlier summonses.

Arvind Kejriwal's reluctance to comply with the ED's summons raises the possibility of him facing potential arrest.

The motion passed with a voice vote, with 54 out of AAP's 62 MLAs present, underscoring the party's substantial majority in the 70-member Delhi Assembly.

Kejriwal invoked the confidence motion and the Delhi Assembly Budget Session to seek exemption from appearing physically in the ED summons case before the court.

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief of the Aam Aadmi Party, is expected to appear before a Delhi court today to provide an explanation for his absence during the five previous summons issued by the ED.

The assembly motion was made a few days after the Aam Aadami Party (AAP) chief was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for the sixth time in relation to the ongoing investigation into the now-scrapped liquor policy.

The case revolves around allegations that the AAP government's revised alcohol sales policy facilitated kickbacks from cartels, which were purportedly used to finance electoral expenses in Goa and other states.

Kejriwal appealed to the electorate for their support once again, emphasizing the historic mandate AAP received in Punjab's Assembly elections two years prior.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a complaint against Kejriwal for failing to appear at the summons, and the court took cognizance to the case.
