Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal skipped the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case related to the Jal Board on Monday (18 March).

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) called this summons "illegal" and asked, "When there is bail from the court, why is ED sending summons again and again?"

However, there is dishonesty in this statement because Kejriwal was granted bail by the additional chief metropolitan magistrate of Rouse Avenue Court in the liquor policy case.


The summons in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) case were issued under section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

ED is probing illegal tendering in Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and laundering of alleged proceeds of crime. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva alleged that DJB has massive corruption.
