Arvind Kejriwal refuses to answer an ED summons in a DJB-related money laundering case
In a money laundering case involving purported anomalies in the Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal declined to appear before the Enforcement Department on Monday.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) further referred to the summons as “illegal” and said that Kejriwal was being singled out by the BJP administration at the federal level via the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Kejriwal was called in by the ED on Monday, August 18, to be questioned about a money laundering investigation related to purported anomalies in the DJB. The 55-year-old lawmaker, who is also the national convenor of the AAP, has been called in connection with the second case filed under the anti-money laundering statute.
He has already received a summons to appear for interrogation in the money laundering case involving the Delhi excise policy. To date, Kejriwal has ignored eight summonses in this lawsuit, claiming they are unlawful.
He is required to appear before an ED investigating officer on March 21st, according to a new and ninth notification of this kind in the excise policy matter.
