Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is facing escalating pressure as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons him for the fourth time in an ongoing money laundering investigation linked to the controversial Delhi excise policy, said the sources on Saturday. The agency aims to question Kejriwal about the policy’s formulation, pre-finalization meetings, and allegations of bribery. Despite being summoned thrice before, Kejriwal dismissed these calls as “illegal and politically motivated.”
In its sixth charge sheet filed on December 2, 2023, naming Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh and his aide Sarvesh Mishra, the ED alleged that the AAP utilized kickbacks totaling ₹45 crore, generated through the policy, as part of its assembly elections campaign in Goa in 2022. The ED remains resolute in pursuing the investigation, emphasizing its determination to unravel the details surrounding the money laundering allegations.
