This is the second case registered under the anti-money laundering law in which Arvind Kejriwal has been summoned
Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Monday skipped another ED summon issued by the probe agency in connection with a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board. This is the first time Kejriwal was summoned in the case.
Calling it a “backup” plan to stop Kejriwal from campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) termed the summons “illegal” and accused the BJP government at the Centre of using the central agencies to target Kejriwal.
The party also asked why the probe agency is issuing summons despite the court granting bail for skipping the same.
Notably, this is the second case registered under the anti-money laundering law in which the 55-year-old politician has been summoned.
The AAP supremo is already facing summons for questioning in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case and has already skipped eight summonses in this case till now, terming them illegal.
A fresh and ninth such summon in the excise policy case was issued on Sunday which stipulates him to appear before an ED investigating officer on March 21.
