Kejriwal skipped summons바카라 웹사이트
This development came after Mr Kejriwal바카라 웹사이트skipped summons for questioning by the probe agency바카라 웹사이트thrice including on January 3, December 21, and November which now has made it legally possible for ED to issue a non-bailable warrant and arrest him.
In April, he was questioned for nine hours by the Central Bureau of Investigation. He has not been named as an accused in the case.

Delhi Excise Policy Case

The Enforcement Directorate alleged the laundering of the kickbacks.
Leaving no stone unturned to launch an attack on AAP, the BJP바카라 웹사이트alleged that the proceeds of the alleged scam were used by the AAP to fund its large-scale campaign in Gujarat, in which it got 12.91 percent votes and established itself as a national party.
Taking a swipe at Kejriwal for not appearing before ED, the ruling party has said바카라 웹사이트he is "shaking in fear" and is not appearing before the agency because he knows that he is the "kingpin" of the alleged liquor policy scam.
