Enforcement Directorate Moves Delhi Court Against CM Kejriwal for Non-Compliance

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday moved the Delhi court against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for not complying with ED summons in the Delhi excise policy case.

This comes a day after the Delhi Chief Minister skipped the fifth summons in the alleged liquor policy scam case.

As per reports, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra of Rouse Avenue Courts heard the matter today. The case is now listed on February 7, 2024, for further submissions.

The fresh complaint case has been filed by ED under Section 190 (1)(a) of Cr.P.C. read with Section 200 of the Code, Section 174 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 63 (4) of PMLA, 2002.

Earlier, the Delhi chief minister had refused to appear before the Enforcement Directorate on Friday and has repeatedly claimed that the notices issued to him were illegal and the agency’s only aim is to arrest him.

It has come to the fore that AAP chief’s arrest has been rife ever since the first summons was issued by the ED last November 2, 2023.

It may be mentioned that two other AAP leaders namely former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh were taken into custody in connection with the case last year.
