Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Skips Third Summons By ED In Liquor Scam Case

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal won’t appear for questioning today (Wednesday) in the Delhi liquor policy case, the Aam Aadmi Party said. AAP said that the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate were illegal and the only aim was to arrest Kejriwal.

Notably, earlier, Kejriwal, also the AAP’s national convenor, refused to appear before the probe agency on two earlier summons for November 2 and December 21.

According to AAP, Kejriwal was ready to cooperate with the agency but claimed that the summons was sent to arrest him.

“Why has the notice been sent right before elections? The notice is an attempt to stop Kejriwal from campaigning in elections,” the party alleged.

The AAP chief had been questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the case in April but had not been made an accused by the agency.

Former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was arrested in connection with the case in February, and AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh was taken into custody in October.
