Delhi CM Kejriwal Skips ED Summons in Money Laundering Case, AAP Cries Foul

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has once again avoided appearing before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case. This case is related to alleged irregularities within the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). The summons for Monday, the second issued under anti-money laundering laws, was not attended by the AAP national convenor, sparking controversy and accusations of political misuse of enforcement agencies.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has vehemently criticized the summons as “illegal” and alleges that the BJP-led central government is exploiting the ED to target Kejriwal. This recent development is part of a series of legal challenges for the Delhi Chief Minister, who has also been summoned in a separate case linked to the Delhi excise policy. To date, Kejriwal has not complied with eight such summonses, claiming their illegality.

Adding to the political drama, AAP has voiced concerns over what it perceives as a “backup plan” to arrest Kejriwal, reflecting the escalating tensions between the state government and central agencies. With Kejriwal scheduled to appear before the ED on March 21 for the excise policy case, the political narrative in the capital seems poised for more upheaval.
