How long will Kejriwal avoid the ED and courts is the question. He has been evading the summons of the ED for the last 6 times.
In the latest development in the drama surrounding the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) summons to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his refusal to appear before it, a Delhi court has asked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader to appear in court on March 16.
The fresh summons comes after the central agency, which wants to question Mr Kejriwal in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, told the court that the Chief Minister had skipped multiple summons issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The latest complaint pertains to the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor not honouring summonses number 4 to 8 sent by the federal probe agency under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the ED said.
The ED had earlier moved a local court seeking Kejriwal’s prosecution for not attending the first three summonses issued to him in the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
