Kejriwal

ASG SV In his ED appearance, Raju referred to Kejriwal's weight loss claim as untrue. He had claimed that Kejriwal weighed 65 kg when he was released from prison, having weighed 64 kg when he entered.

The complaint references a tweet by Kejriwal on January 27, 2024, and a press conference held by Atishi on April 2, 2024.

Petitioner argued that Kejriwal's arrest in connection with the Delhi Liquor Policy scam, under the money laundering law, rendered him unable to fulfill his duties as Chief Minister.

He said a delegation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will meet EC officials on Saturday to demand an ED probe into the excise policy for Punjab.

The central investigative agency had previously issued summons on February 14, requesting his presence on February 19, an appointment that the Chief Minister failed to honor.

In parallel, the Delhi crime branch has also targeted Kejriwal, particularly following his allegations of BJP's involvement in attempting to poach seven AAP MLAs.

Kejriwal's home will be served with a notice regarding allegations of "poaching" by Delhi Crime Branch police.

According to the Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, the Trinamool Congress has made it a habit to criticise independent investigative agencies and constitutional institutions.

Kejriwal has been summoned on January 3 for questioning by the ED in connection with an excise policy-linked money laundering case.

The Delhi Labor Minister Raaj Kumar Anand's home was searched by the ED early on Thursday.
