The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court opposing Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s petition. In an affidavit filed on Wednesday, he described Kejriwal as the main conspirator in the money laundering case related to Delhi’s excise policy. Also, the central agency claimed that although several subpoenas were issued, he did not cooperate.
The summons was sent nine times
The ED opposed Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest, saying that Kejriwal played a central role in committing the crime of money laundering in connivance with Delhi government ministers, AAP leaders and others. At the same time, the affidavit also said that the Chief Minister of Delhi was summoned nine times, but he did not appear.
The arrest is in place
It is worth noting that Kejriwal appealed the decision of the Delhi High Court, which upheld his arrest and detention by the ED. The Supreme Court, while issuing a notice on Kejriwal’s petition, directed the ED to file its reply by April 24. It was also reported that the hearing in the case will take place the week of April 29.
