Kejriwal Evades ED Summons for Fourth Time in Delhi Liquor Scam
Delhi Chief Minister questions his role in the case, while the ED claims kickback money was used in Goa elections.
- Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has evaded the Enforcement Directorate's summons four times in connection with the Delhi liquor scam, citing various reasons including preparations for Republic Day and Rajya Sabha polls.
- Kejriwal has asked the probe agency to specify whether he has been called as a witness or an accused in the case.
- The Delhi Chief Minister has previously deposed before the Central Bureau of Investigation in the same case, where his statement was recorded as a witness.
- The Enforcement Directorate claims that money received from kickbacks was used by AAP in Goa elections, a claim that AAP has called politically motivated.
- Kejriwal is likely to skip the summons again as he is scheduled to leave for Goa to oversee the Aam Aadmi Party's preparation for the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
