After CBI, now ED has also sent summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Excise Policy scam case. The investigating agency has asked Kejriwal to appear for questioning on November 2 in the money laundering case related to the scam.
CBI has already interrogated in April
In the same case, CBI had interrogated Arvind Kejriwal in April. Official sources said that 55-year-old Arvind Kejriwal has been summoned under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). ED will record the statement of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after he appears before the investigating officer of the case in Delhi. ED has mentioned Kejriwal’s name several times in its chargesheet in the case. The ED says the accused were in touch with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader regarding the preparation and implementation of Delhi’s now-repealed Excise Policy, 2021-22.
Three big leaders of AAP are in jail
The special thing is that three big leaders of Aam Aadmi Party are currently in jail in the liquor scam case. Recently, Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh was arrested by ED after interrogation. After the arrest of Sanjay Singh, BJP started sharp attacks on Arvind Kejriwal.
Manish Sisodia’s bail plea rejected
It is worth noting that today i.e. on October 30, the Supreme Court rejected the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who is in jail in a case related to the alleged liquor scam. The top court said that based on the investigation so far, the agency has managed to establish the movement of money in the scam.
