New Delhi:

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday skipped a summons from the education ministry in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities at the Delhi JAL Board.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also termed the summons as “illegal” and accused the BJP government at the Center of using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to target Kejriwal.

On Monday the 18th, the Education Ministry summoned Mr Kejriwal for questioning in connection with a money laundering investigation related to alleged irregularities at DJB. This is the second case registered under the Anti-Money Laundering Act to summon the 55-year-old politician and AAP national convener.

He is already facing summons for questioning in a money laundering case related to Delhi’s excise tax policy. Mr. Kejriwal has skipped eight summonses in the case so far, calling them illegal.

The latest ninth such notice in the excise policy case stipulates that he will appear before the ED investigating officer on March 21.
