AAP termed the summons illegal and said the Enforcement Directorate and CBI are the goons of the BJP, and the BJP plans to arrest Delhi Chief Minister before the Lok Sabha election.
Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Adami Party Nation Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Monday, March 18, 2024, skipped the Enforcement Directorate summons that was issued to him in connection with a money laundering probe linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
This summons was issued to him on Saturday, March 16, 2024, under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), and the central probe agency asked the Chief Minister to appear before the Enforcement Directorate sleuths for questioning on Monday.
Although the Aam Adami Party said that “the Rouse Avenue Court has granted bail to Kejriwal in connection with Enforcement Directorate (ED) complaints for skipping multiple summonses, then why is the agency still sending summonses to him?”
Furthermore, the party also termed the summons illegal and said the Enforcement Directorate and CBI are the goons of the BJP, and the BJP plans to arrest Delhi Chief Minister before the Lok Sabha election.
They further said that the BJP was afraid of the increasing popularity and status of CM Arvind Kejriwal.
The probe agency case is based on an FIR registered by the CBI for offences related to alleged corruption and bribery in the DJB. It was alleged that a contract to install electromagnetic flow metres was given to a company at inflated rates.
Earlier, the investigative agency arrested retired DJB chief engineer Jagdish Kumar Arora and contractor Anil Kumar Aggarwal in connection with the case.
