Court issued summons to Arvind Kejriwal

A Delhi court on Wednesday issued summons to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on a complaint by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). In fact, the ED wants to question Kejriwal in the money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor scam, but he is not complying with the summons. Rouse Avenue Court Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra has ordered to issue summons to Chief Minister Kejriwal. On February 3, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S.V. Raju had argued in the court on behalf of the ED.

The ED had on January 31 issued a fresh summons to Kejriwal and asked him to appear before the Central Investigation Agency on February 2. This was the fifth summons issued to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener. Even on the fifth summons on Friday, Kejriwal did not appear before the ED. Despite being issued summons four times in the last four months, he did not appear before the ED calling the summons illegal.
