ED Summons To Arvind Kejriwal: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was on Monday summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with the Delhi Liquor Policy Case on November 2. He has been issued the summons under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and according to the sources, the agency will record his statement once he deposes before the investigating officer of the case in Delhi.
The BJP reacted sharply to the developments as senior party leaders issued separate statements on the issue.
On ED summoning CM Arvind Kejriwal, BJP leader Harish Khurana said, “We’ve just received the news that ED has summoned Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the Delhi excise policy case and asked to appear before them on 2nd November. This becomes even more important after the SC rejected the bail plea of Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia this morning. Arvind Kejriwal is the mastermind and kingpin of the Delhi Excise Policy case.”

Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been asked to depose at the ED’s Delhi office at 11 am on November 2. This is the first time that the Delhi CM has been summoned by the central agency. Earlier in April he was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
It is to be noted that the ED issued the summon to Kejriwal hours after the Supreme Court rejected the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who is the prime accused in the liquor case.
Manish Sisodia was arrested on February 26, 2023, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for his alleged role in the Delhi excise policy “scam” while the Enforcement Directorate arrested Sisodia in a money-laundering case stemming from the CBI’s FIR on March 9.
