Delhi liquor policy case: ED summons Arvind Kejriwal for fourth time

Delhi liquor policy case: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has once again summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning in the Delhi liquor policy case. This is the fourth time the Delhi CM and AAP national convenor has been summoned by the probe agency. 

He has been summoned to appear before the investigative agency on January 18.

This comes after Arvind Kejriwal skipped the January 3 questioning, claiming that the summons issued by the ED were illegal and that their sole purpose was to arrest him.

Kejriwal refused to appear before the probe agency on two previous summonses, on November 2 and December 21, respectively.

The Central Bureau of Investigation questioned the AAP chief about the case in April, but the agency did not charge him.

Ever since the Enforcement Directorate issued the first summons, there has been widespread speculation that the Delhi chief minister would be arrested following his questioning. 

With three of its leaders behind bars - Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendra Jain - the AAP has long anticipated the possibility and has discussed potential courses of action. They even want Kejriwal to continue as Chief Minister and do his job from jail.
