January 4, 2024

New Delhi: Delhi Police have heightened the security at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence after AAP claimed that the Enforcement Directorate is likely to arrest him in the alleged excise scam on Thursday. The number of police personnel deployed at the CM’s house has been doubled.

Meanwhile Delhi Chief Minister will be addressing a Press conference at noon today on the issue of ED summons to him in liquor policy case.

As per sources, party workers are anticipated to gather here, and to avoid any law and order situation, the security has been beefed up. Kejriwal on Wednesday reportedly declined to appear before the ED in connection with the Delhi excise policy case while the BJP on Wednesday attacked the AAP chief, saying he has “abandoned” his party leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh.

The ED has summoned Kejriwal on January 3 (Wednesday) in connection with the case but he is reportedly not ready to appear before the investigating agency.

Earlier, Kejriwal received summons on November 2 and December 22. He didnt appear before ED and asked ED to withdraw the summon. He had ignored two summons on November 2 and December 22, calling them “illegal and politically motivated”.
