Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued the ninth summons to AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering probe related to irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 case asking him to join the investigation on March 21.
This comes a day after Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after failing to comply with summons from investigative agencies in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
The court asked him to provide a personal bond of Rs 15,000 and a security bond of Rs 1 lakh to secure his release.
Kejriwal found himself entangled in legal proceedings under Section 174 of the Indian Penal Code, pertaining to disobeying a lawful order to appear at a specified location, when he repeatedly disregarded summonses from the Enforcement Directorate related to the purported Delhi excise policy irregularities.

However, Arvind Kejriwal, deeming the summonses as “illegitimate,” expressed willingness to participate only through video-conferencing. Nevertheless, the financial investigative agency insisted on his physical presence, asserting the absence of provisions for virtual interrogation.
