Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday skipped the Enforcement Directorate’s 7th summons for questioning in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.

Earlier, the ED sent a seventh summons to the Delhi CM on February 22 after he did not appear before the probe agency on the sixth summons for questioning in a money laundering case.

Kejriwal has skipped all the summonses so far, terming them “illegal”. He had also written to the ED seeking their withdrawal.

The AAP said the chief minister will not appear before the ED. A Delhi court will hear the matter of the validity of ED summons on March 16 and the agency should wait for its order instead of sending summonses repeatedly, it said.

The ED, while issuing the seventh summons, had rejected the contention that a fresh notice for Kejriwal’s attendance was wrong as the matter was sub-judice before a local court.
