Excise scam: ED issues 6th summons to CM Kejriwal in money laundering case | India News – Business Standard
This is the sixth summons in this case by the ED to the former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) official.
The Enforcement Directorate has issued a fresh and sixth summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his questioning in the excise-related money laundering case, official sources said on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old leader, who is also national chairman of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has been asked to resign from the federal agency on February 19.
A Delhi court had last week asked Kejriwal to appear before it on February 17 on a complaint filed by the ED for disobeying the ED summons in the case and noted that the AAP chief initially face was “legally required” to comply.
This is the sixth summons in this case by the ED to the former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) official.
He was earlier summoned on dates like February 2, January 18 and January 3 this year and December 21 and November 2, 2023. The CM has always termed these notices as ‘illegal’.
