“Kejriwal Labels Summons ‘Illegal’ Amidst Ongoing Money Laundering Allegations”
Delhi CM asserts the illegality of ED summons as the enforcement agency alleges his involvement in a conspiracy linked to the excise policy scam.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Enforcement Directorate has lodged a fresh complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for not adhering to the five summons issued in connection with the money laundering case. Kejriwal, who has consistently labeled these summons as “illegal,” is facing scrutiny over his alleged involvement in the excise policy scam.
The ED has been diligently pursuing this case, having issued five summons to Kejriwal over the past four months. The Chief Minister, however, has chosen to skip these summons, further escalating the legal tension surrounding the investigation. Claiming the summons to be unlawful, Kejriwal has positioned himself against the enforcement agency’s attempts to bring him in for questioning.
The case, now before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra, signifies a critical juncture in the legal proceedings. The court has scheduled further submissions for February 07, indicating the gravity of the allegations against the Delhi CM.
Meanwhile, the ED alleges that the excise policy under investigation was implemented as part of a larger conspiracy to provide significant profits to specific private companies. The agency contends that certain stipulations were not disclosed in the official minutes of meetings, raising suspicions of a coordinated effort to benefit select entities.
Two prominent leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party, Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, have already been arrested in connection with the money laundering case and are presently in judicial custody. The ED claims that these arrests are linked to a broader conspiracy orchestrated by individuals, including Vijay Nair, who was allegedly acting on behalf of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia.
The unfolding events in the case highlight the complex web of allegations, legal maneuvers, and political ramifications surrounding one of the most prominent figures in Delhi’s political landscape. As the legal battle intensifies, the public awaits further developments in this high-profile money laundering investigation.
