 New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal will not appear before the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday in connection with the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) money laundering probe.

Arvind Kejriwal will not appear before ED today. ED has issued summons in the Delhi Jal Board case. On this AAP has said that if Court has granted bail then why ED is sending summons. AAP once again termed the summons as illegal and said that BJP is behind all these summons.

The ED has issued another summons to Arvind Kejriwal for today in connection with the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) money laundering probe.
He was issued a summons by the ED under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in the Delhi Jal Board case.

Earlier, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Minister Atishi claimed that the case is ‘fake’, adding that the party is not aware of the case registered by the ED in this matter.

“Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal received another summons yesterday evening by the ED…They have asked him to join some investigations related to the Delhi Jal Board. We are unaware of the case registered by the ED in this matter,” she said.

In February this year, ED arrested a retired chief engineer, Jagdish Kumar Arora, and a contractor, Anil Kumar Aggarwal, in connection with its money laundering probe into alleged irregularities in the tendering process of the DJB.
