Delhi: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday skipped the seventh summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the excise policy case.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) urged the ED to respect the legal process and await the court’s decision instead of repeatedly issuing summonses to Mr Kejriwal. The party contends that the multiple summonses served to the Chief Minister are unwarranted.
“The matter is currently in court, with the next hearing scheduled for March 16. Instead of dispatching daily summons, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) should exercise patience and await the court’s decision,” the AAP said.
This was the seventh time that Mr Kejriwal was summoned by the probe agency in connection to the case. Earlier this month, the agency took the matter to a city court after Mr Kejriwal had skipped several summonses related to the investigation.
