The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal for questioning regarding the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.
The PTI reported that the ED has summoned Kejriwal in a money laundering case related to the alleged scam.
Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia is already in jail since February in a case related to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam. He held the excise portfolio in Kejriwal's Delhi Cabinet at the time of the alleged scam.
The central investigative agencies have alleged that there were irregularities in the drafting and implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy, which also included the exchange of bribes. While the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is pursuing a criminal investigation, the ED is chasing the money trail and is pursuing the moneylaundering angle.
