In another development, a Delhi Court has asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to appear before it on March 16. The order was issued after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a fresh complaint against the Aam Admi Party Supremo for evading its summons.

His response came after ED had issued eight summons to Kejriwal on February 27 and asked him to appear before it on March 4.

The sources said that Kejriwal has been asked to appear before ED on March 4.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued seventh summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to appear before it in connection with the alleged excise policy scam, said the sources. Kejriwal has been asked to appear before the financial probe agency on February 26, informed the sources.

The financial probe agency's complaint alleged that Kejriwal intentionally did not want to obey the summons and kept on giving “lame excuses.”

About 10-12 premises in the national capital are being covered as part of the raids being undertaken under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The ED, on Wednesday, issued a fresh summon to Kejriwal, and he was told to appear before the central probe agency on Friday. That was the fifth summon issued to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor.

The number of police personnel deployed at the CM's house has been doubled.

Kejriwal, who was summoned by the ED to appear before it on November 2 for questioning, will be skipping the ED questioning and participate in a roadshow along with his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann in Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli.

The Constitution Bench had observed that an unaccountable and non-responsive civil service may pose a serious problem of governance in a democracy. 

Kejriwal, who joined the probe at the CBI headquarters at 11.05 a.m., was asked about AAP leader Vijay Nair, businessman Sameer Mahendru and how the policy got leaked before it was implemented.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is summoned by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam.

He claimed that central probe agencies like the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED) were going to extreme heights to target their strongest political rivals.

The Commission said that the AAP has been nominated as a national party according to its electoral performance in four states namely Delhi, Goa, Punjab and Gujarat. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party is in power in Delhi and Punjab.

While coming out of the court, Chandrashekhar told reporters that truth has prevailed, and it is Kejriwal's turn next.
