New Delhi, March 18: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal chose not to attend the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons on Monday concerning a money laundering case associated with alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) denounced the summons as “illegitimate” and accused the BJP-led central government of utilizing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to target Kejriwal.
Kejriwal was summoned by the ED for questioning on March 18 in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to alleged irregularities in the DJB. This marks the second instance under the anti-money laundering law where the 55-year-old politician, also the AAP national convenor, has been summoned.
He is already under summons for questioning in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy. Kejriwal has disregarded eight summonses in this matter so far, labeling them as unlawful.
A fresh and ninth summons in the excise policy case requires him to appear before an ED investigating officer on March 21.
