Money laundering case: ED searches against Arvind Kejriwal's PS, persons linked to AAP

Money laundering case: Launching a probe in money laundering case, the Enforcement Directorate conduct searches at the premises of Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and at the residence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary, Bibhav Kumar.

As per the sources, ED is conducting searches at nearly 10 locations including premises of of Bibhav Kumar and former Delhi Jal Board member Shalabh Kumar. 

The latest development came in the wake of the probe agency moving a court in Delhi against the AAP national convenor for skipping its summons for the fifth time in a case linked to the excise policy case.

Public Works Department Minister Atishi alleged on Tuesday that Aam Admi Party leaders were "threatened" in her first reaction to the Enforcement Directorate raids at the residence of Aam Admi Party leaders, claiming that the probe agency "has not been able to recover even a single rupee from them".

"In the name of this so-called liquor scam, someone's house is raided, gets summoned, and is arrested...Even after hundreds of raids in two years, ED has not been able to recover even a single rupee," Atishi further added. 

The Enforcement Directorate on February 3 moved the Rouse Avenue Court and filed a complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for not complying with the summons issued by the agency in the Delhi liquor policy money laundering case.

The Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Divya Malhotra, after hearing the submissions on Saturday, fixed February 7 for the remaining submissions and consideration of the fresh complaint filed by the agency.
