Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has been contacted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for further interrogation as part of the continuing investigation into the “scam” that is associated with the Delhi Excise policy. The appointment of the Chief Minister to testify before the agency that is in charge of the investigation is planned to take place on March 4. In conjunction with the investigation into money laundering that is connected to the “scam” that was the excise policy, Kejriwal has been called before the ED for the eighth time. This is the eighth time that he has been called there.
Despite the fact that the seventh summons was issued on Monday, Kejriwal, who is 55 years old, did not show up for the appointment. In the event that a judge ordered him to go to the agency, he declared that he would go there himself. Kejriwal asserted in his statement that the summons was a technique that was used to force him to leave the INDIA block. He said that this was done without his consent.
In light of the fact that Kejriwal disregarded the summons that it issued in relation to this particular case, the Enforcement Department (ED) has recently presented a fresh complaint against him in front of a court in Delhi. As a consequence of this, a court in Delhi issued an order requiring the chief minister to appear before the court on March 16 of the following year.
According to a statement that was released by the American Association of Police, the investigating agency ought to stop from issuing summonses on several times and instead wait for its order. ED is currently in such a precarious state, and the reason for this is now common knowledge. A further point to consider is that the case is currently being heard in court on March 16th.Is there no way that the ED could possibly wait for the verdict that the court would decide? They want us to either abandon the INDIA alliance or see him (Arvind Kejriwal) in jail, and they want us to do either of those things. They want us doing any of those things. The words that were made by Dilip Pandey, the leader of the AAP, on Tuesday are as follows: “We will not leave the INDIA alliance no matter what.”

The Enforcement Directorate, on the other hand, dismissed the claim that a new notice for Kejriwal’s appearance was improper due to the fact that the matter was already under the jurisdiction of the court, as reported by the news agency PTI. Although the Enforcement Directorate was in the process of issuing the ninth summons, this event took place.
During the course of the investigation into charges of irregularities in the case involving the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, the Enforcement Department (ED) issued a sixth summons to the Chief Minister of Delhi on February 14. In the summons, it was requested that he take part in the investigation on February 19th.
The Chief Minister of Delhi was served with a new summons after he failed to attend for the fifth summons, which was issued on February 2. The new summons was issued to him. Arvind Kejriwal had earlier disregarded five other summonses that were issued by the ED on February 2, January 18, January 3, November 2, and December 22. With regard to these summonses, he referred to them as “illegal and politically motivated.” Additionally, he had reached out to the ED in writing, requesting that they withdraw their request.
There have been multiple instances in which Kejriwal’s name has been included in the chargesheets that the ED has presented in connection with the case. In a statement released by the agency, it was said that the accused had been in communication with him over the creation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, which has since been eliminated. In the chargesheet that it submitted, the Enforcement Department (ED) alleged that the All India Pradesh (AAP) had employed “proceeds of crime” equivalent to around ₹45 crore in order to finance its election campaign in Goa.
An charge that has been constantly refuted by the AAP is that the excise policy for 2021-22 that the Delhi government devised to provide licenses to liquor traders allowed for cartelization and favored certain dealers who had purportedly paid bribes for it. This policy was implemented in order to give licenses to liquor trading businesses.
