New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to appear before a Delhi court on Saturday in connection with a complaint filed by the ED on non-compliance with the agency\u2019s summons in a money laundering case relayed to the alleged excise policy scam.<\/p>\n
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra, had taken cognisance of the complaint on Februray 7.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026summons are being issued to him to appear on February 17,\u201d the judge had said.<\/p>\n
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), on January 31, issued fresh summons to Kejriwal, and he was told to appear before it on February 2. That was the fifth summon issued to the AAP Convenor.<\/p>\n
The financial probe agency\u2019s complaint alleged that Kejriwal intentionally did not want to obey the summons and kept on giving \u201clame excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a high-ranking public functionary like him disobeyed the law, it would set a wrong example for the common man i.e. the Aam Aadmi,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n
The ED had issued a fourth summons to Kejriwal on January 13, asking him to appear before it on January 18.<\/p>\n
On February 2, AAP said that Kejriwal did not appear before the ED for questioning, and also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he wants to topple the Delhi government.<\/p>\n
\u201cDelhi CM and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will not appear before ED today as well. The party calls the summon \u2018unlawful\u2019. We will comply with the lawful summons. PM Modi\u2019s aim is to arrest Arvind Kejriwal and topple the Delhi Government. We will not allow this to happen,\u201d AAP had said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kejriwal brought a motion of confidence in the Delhi Assembly on Friday after the ED summoned him for the sixth time.<\/p>\n
