Arvind Kejriwal refuses to attend ED enquiry citing judicial procedure

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is plagued by the liquor scam as the Lok Sabha elections are approaching. The ED officials once again sent notices to Arvind Kejriwal to attend the inquiry regarding this case. He refused to be investigated for the seventh time. He said that he could not attend the hearing as the matter was in court. Aam Aadmi Party has written a letter to the ED officials to this effect. Moreover, the ED has been advised to respect the legal process. Instead of issuing repeated summons to Kejriwal, he asked them to wait for the court’s decision and that it is inappropriate to send summons to the Chief Minister several times.

Meanwhile, the ED has already issued six notices to Kejriwal, who is facing charges in the Delhi Liquor Policy case. In the past, ED officials issued notices to Kejriwal on November 2, December 21 and then on January 3, but Kejriwal did not respond at all. After that on 13th January, 31st January and 14th February, notices were sent six times. Kejriwal did not attend any hearings. It is known that he is alleging that the central government is trying to file false cases against him and send him to jail. Meanwhile, BRS MLC Kavitha, who is accused in the same case, has also written a letter to the ED officials saying that she cannot attend the hearing today.
