Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and the Chief Minister of Delhi, has been summoned once again by the Enforcement Directorate to appear for questioning on Thursday regarding the money laundering case associated with the now-defunct excise policy in Delhi. The directive, the second of its kind, mandates his presence before the agency on December 21. Notably, this development follows a prior summons last month, when Arvind Kejriwal was called to appear on November 2, an event he abstained from, citing its purported illegality and political motivations.
It is noteworthy that two prominent members of the Aam Aadmi Party, namely Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, faced arrests by central probe agencies in connection with the same case. The situation has added complexity to the ongoing investigation into the alleged improprieties surrounding the Delhi liquor policy.
This is not the first instance of legal scrutiny for Arvind Kejriwal about the matter at hand. In April of this year, he underwent questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) concerning the purported liquor scam. Following the extensive nine-hour inquiry at the CBI headquarters in Delhi, Kejriwal addressed the press, revealing that he faced a barrage of 56 questions from the investigative agency. Kejriwal emphatically asserted the falsehood of the alleged liquor scam, denouncing it as a product of deceptive politics. He staunchly defended the integrity of the Aam Aadmi Party, declaring it to be a party of unwavering honesty. Kejriwal also expressed his belief that there was a concerted effort to undermine and eradicate AAP, yet he remained resolute, claiming the support of the people despite the adversities faced by the party.
