New Delhi, March 17 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sunday issued a ninth summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged excise policy scam.
The sources said that CM Kejriwal has been asked to appear before the probe agency on March 21.
This comes a day after a magisterial court granted bail to CM Kejriwal in complaints filed by the ED over non-compliance with the agency's summons issued to him in connection with a money laundering case related to the now-scrapped excise policy case.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Divya Malhotra of Rouse Avenue Court granted the Chief Minister relief on a bail bond of Rs 15,000 and a surety of Rs 1 lakh.
