The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a summons to Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal for questioning on November 2 regarding an alleged liquor policy scam case.
Reliable sources have confirmed that Kejriwal is required to appear before the ED on November 2. It’s worth noting that earlier in April this year, Kejriwal underwent questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with this matter.
This development coincides with the Supreme Court’s decision to reject the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The bench comprising Justice Sanjiv Khanna and S.V.N. Bhatti has also directed that Sisodia’s trial must be concluded within the next six to eight months. The bench emphasized that if the trial progresses slowly, Sisodia retains the option to file another bail application. Justice Khanna, during the judgment delivery, highlighted that while numerous questions remain unanswered, there is a tentative establishment of a key aspect concerning the transfer of Rs 338 crore.
The ED’s case is rooted in the CBI’s First Information Report (FIR) registered in August last year. Notably, the ED had taken AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh into custody earlier this month in connection with this case.
