There are rumors in Delhi that the CM could be arrested by the ED today. These claims come after the Delhi Chief Minister skipped the third summons issued to him by the ED on Wednesday.
The ED issued a third summons to CM Kejriwal on December 22 last year, in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor scam case, asking him to appear before the agency on January 3.
Kejriwal, in his reply to the ED, expressed his readiness to cooperate with the investigation but declined to appear on the summoned date, calling the notice “illegal.”
Kejriwal further questioned the timing of the notice as a move to stop him from electioneering ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections in 2024.
The Delhi CM was first called by the central agency to appear on November 2, but he did not depose, alleging that the notice was “vague, motivated, and unsustainable in law.”
He further alleged that the said summons appeared to be politically motivated and issued for extraneous consideration.
