Delhi Excise Policy: Rouse Avenue Court Summons CM Arvind Kejriwal for Mar 16

Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday issued summons to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in response to a fresh complaint by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), alleging his evasion of its summonses in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam.

Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra directed the Delhi CM to appear before the court on March 16, 2024.

The complaint was filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) before the court on Wednesday, seeking prosecution of Kejriwal for evading multiple summonses issued to him in the case.

The latest complaint concerns the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor’s failure to honor summonses numbered 4 to 8 sent by the ED under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), as per the ED’s statement.

The federal probe agency had previously approached the court seeking Kejriwal’s prosecution for not attending the initial three summonses issued to him in the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
