This comes after the Enforcement Directorate filed a new complaint with the court, requesting that the AAP leader be prosecuted for allegedly ignoring several summonses he received in connection with the now-cancelled Delhi excise policy.
The case was scheduled for hearing on Thursday by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Divya Malhotra’s court. Arvind Kejriwal attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a post on X, claiming that the ED was being used to “harass” opposition leaders into joining the BJP.The national convenor of AAP stated that if he joined the BJP, he would no longer receive notices. In a previous court filing, the Enforcement Department (ED) requested that Arvind Kejriwal be prosecuted for failing to appear for the first three summonses he received in connection with the now-cancelled Delhi excise policy money laundering case.
This case (pertaining to summonses nos. 1 through 3) has been scheduled for hearing by ACMM Malhotra’s court on March 16, according to PTI, a news agency. The 55-year-old Arvind Kejriwal has referred to all ED summonses as “illegal”. When he had previously notified the agency, he might be questioned after March 12 using a videoconference link.He had stated, “We have not done anything wrong nor are we trying to hide,” during a press conference on March 4, the day the ED’s eighth summons stated he was requested to join the investigation.
