Digital Desk: The Aam Aadmi Party claimed on Monday that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will not be attending the Enforcement Directorate summons, which was issued in relation to a money laundering investigation into purported anomalies in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
The Chief Minister was summoned on Saturday in accordance with section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), requesting that he come before the Enforcement Directorate detectives today to be questioned.
An AAP spokesperson questioned why Kejriwal was still receiving summonses from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) although the court on Rouse Avenue gave him bail in response to allegations about his repeated disregard for multiple summonses.
The agency's summons was also described as "illegal" by the party.
CASE AGAINST KEJRIWAL
The investigation agency in the DJB case has asserted that money acquired via corruption in a contract granted by the department of the Delhi government was purportedly transferred to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as election money.
As part of this investigation, the ED raided the homes of several people in February, including Kejriwal's assistant, an AAP Rajya Sabha MP, a former DJB member, and a chartered accountant.
The basis for the ED's case is a CBI FIR that claims irregularities in a DJB contract that was given to NKG Infrastructure Ltd. for Rs 38 crore, despite the fact that the company "did not meet" the technical eligibility requirements.
The AAP's election funds were among the criminal uses of the funds that the Enforcement Directorate has detained persons connected to the contract, on the grounds that kickbacks were engaged in the contract's awarding.
The agency's assertions, however, have been deemed "fake" by the AAP.
Remarkably, this marked Kejriwal's second summons under the anti-money laundering statute.
In addition, he is being investigated for money laundering in connection with the Delhi excise policy.
