New Delhi:The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sunday issued the ninth summons to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy, asking him to appear before it on March 21. The summons came a day after Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail by the additional chief metropolitan magistrate of Rouse Avenue Court against arrest for skipping summons issued to him by the probe agency in the Delhi liquor policy money laundering case.
Senior AAP Leader and Delhi minister Atishi on Sunday said the Enforcement Directorate has sent Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal a fresh summons to join its probe in a "fake" case linked to the Delhi Jal Board.
"Nobody knows what this DJB (Delhi Jal Board) case is about. This seems to be a backup plan to arrest Kejriwal anyhow and stop him from campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls," she claimed at a press conference here.
Atishi said two summonses asking Kejriwal to appear before the federal agency next week were received hours after the Lok Sabha poll date announcement on Saturday. One of them is related to the excise policy case and the other to the DJB, she added.
