Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faced twin challenges on Saturday with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) lodging a complaint in a court here over skipping summons and Delhi Police’s Crime Branch serving him a notice regarding his MLA poaching allegations against the BJP.
The ED’s complaint comes two days after Mr. Kejriwal skipped the fifth summons issued by the probe agency for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi liquor “scam”.
The complaint was filed before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra, who put up the matter for further hearing on February 7.
“Fresh complaint case for non-attendance in compliance of Section 50, PMLA, 2002, received by way of assignment,” the judge noted and adjourned the matter.
Meanwhile, after a five-hour-long drama, Delhi Police Crime Branch officers served a notice on the Delhi Chief Minister.
On January 27, Mr. Kejriwal and AAP Minister Atishi claimed that the BJP was trying to poach party MLAs by offering ₹25 crore each and a ticket in next year’s Assembly election to topple the government. The BJP had dared the CM to furnish evidence to back his claims.
