New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal (Arvind Kejriwal) faces a significant challenge ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena (VK Saxena) has reportedly granted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) permission to interrogate Kejriwal in connection with the liquor policy scam involving alleged money laundering.
Details of the Case:
Kejriwal has been accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the liquor policy scam. While the case had been registered, the investigation was on hold pending approval from the Lieutenant Governor.
Timing Ahead of Elections:
This development comes just two months before the crucial Delhi Assembly elections, seen as a litmus test for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) following its recent defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. The timing of the case has added pressure on the party’s leadership.
Background of Approval:
The Supreme Court has mandated that the interrogation of any public servant in money laundering cases requires prior approval from the state governor. Acting on this directive, the ED sought permission from the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, who has now approved the request.Tragic Accident Near Nelamangala: Six Family Members Killed in Multi-Vehicle Collision
