The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the Aam Aadmi Party’s national convener, for recording his statement on November 2 in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
The ED case is based on a First Information Report registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleging multiple irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi excise policy (2021-22) which was scrapped following corruption allegations.
The CBI had recorded Mr. Kejriwal’s statement on April 16 and after being questioned for over nine hours, he had told the media persons that the entire case was fabricated, and the agencies did not have any proof and that it was a result of “dirty politics”. He had alleged that the entire case was being built to bring down the AAP.
