Arvind Kejriwal has filed a complaint in the Delhi High Court claiming that the education ministry wants to arrest him.

New Delhi:

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal wants to join the Enforcement Directorate’s investigation and cooperate with the agency but has appealed to the High Court against taking coercive action against him, Delhi Minister Atish said today.

Atishi said Arvind Kejriwal has filed a complaint in the Delhi High Court claiming that the education ministry wants to arrest him.

Atishi claimed: “Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal wants to join the ED investigation and cooperate with the agency. However, we feel that the ED is not an independent agency. It does not want to conduct an investigation. It is a political tool of the BJP.”

“The ED wants to arrest Arvind Kejriwal by summoning him. If the ED’s intention is clear, the agency should say in court that Arvind Kejriwal will not be arrested,” she said.

The Delhi minister claimed that the probe agency was aiming to arrest Arvind Kejriwal and stop him from campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.

Arvind Kejriwal has so far skipped several summons in connection with the money laundering probe related to the alleged GST policy scam.
