Fresh ED notice to Kejriwal in Delhi excise policy case

For the second time in as many months, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning in the excise policy case, an exercise that he had managed to duck on November 2 citing preoccupation with Assembly election campaign in other states and calling the probe agency’s action “politically motivated”.

The AAP convenor has been summoned by the ED on Thursday amid speculation that the Chief Minister may be arrested soon after grilling. However, it will be interesting to see if he, like last time, questions the intent of the summons or presents himself before investigators who want to question him on money trail which allegedly leads to the AAP party fund and election campaigns.

An investigating agency can secure a non-bailable warrant against a person whom it wants to question if the latter fails to face questioning on three occasion, say legal experts.
