Delhi BJP Chief Claims Massive Corruption in DJB as ED Summons Kejriwal

The Directorate of Enforcement has issued fresh summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal regarding the Delhi Jal Board money laundering probe. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva emphasized the gravity of the issue, stating that it surpasses the liquor scam and said, ‘This is not a new case. Delhi Jal Board has massive corruption. This issue is bigger than the Liquor Scam.’ He demanded answers from Kejriwal.

Additionally, BJP leader Bansuri Swaraj criticized Kejriwal for disrespecting eight previous summons from the Enforcement Directorate and questioned his understanding of the law.

On the other hand, Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi claimed that the case is fabricated and that they are unaware of the details registered by the ED. The ED’s investigation is linked to irregularities in the tendering process of the DJB, including allegations of giving undue advantage to certain companies. Kejriwal has also been summoned in another money laundering probe related to the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 case.

Despite Kejriwal’s previous defiance of ED summonses, the court has instructed him to comply with the law. Kejriwal’s bail was set at Rs 15,000 in connection with complaints filed by the ED regarding the Delhi Excise Policy case.
