Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been summoned by the court on February 17 following a complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for alleged non-compliance with summons related to a money laundering case linked to the excise policy. The ED had submitted a plea regarding Kejriwal’s failure to adhere to the summons.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra is set to deliver the verdict at 4 pm on February 17, after reserving the decision upon completion of the ED’s arguments. The enforcement agency had lodged a fresh complaint against Kejriwal on February 3, citing non-compliance with the previously issued summons.
The development marks a legal confrontation for the Delhi Chief Minister, who now faces a court appearance in connection with the alleged money laundering case. The court’s decision on February 17 will play a pivotal role in determining the course of this legal matter involving Kejriwal and the Enforcement Directorate.
