The Enforcement Directorate on Friday issued fresh summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to question him in connection with the liquor excise policy case.
The central agency has summoned the Aam Aadmi Party chief for the third time in this matter. Kejriwal had skipped the last two summonses from the law enforcement agency.
The ED has asked Kejriwal, who is currently on a Vipassana meditation retreat in Punjab, to present himself for questioning on January 3.
Meanwhile, the AAP termed the case against the Delhi CM “fake” and a bid to target its leadership.
“This is a completely fake case only to target the AAP leadership. The BJP has not been able to produce a single evidence in the court,” the AAP said in a statement.
“It’s just political vendetta to counter the growing popularity of AAP across the country. Since CM Arvind Kejriwal has left for Vipassana on the 19th, we cannot confirm if another summons has been received or not,” the AAP added.
