The summon come from the court after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a fresh complaint against Kejriwal. The new complaint was filed against arvind kejriwal for evading its summons with regards to questioning in the excise scam case.
“We have not done anything wrong nor are we trying to hide,” Kejriwal said this at a press conference on March 4.

The court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate or ACMM Divya Malhotra has listed the matter for hearing on next Thursday.
The fresh complaint is under Section 174 (non-attendance in obedience to an order from public servant) of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 63(4) of the PMLA. This tells about “a person who intentionally disobeys any direction“. Along with it, sections 190(1)(a) (receiving a complaint of facts which constitute such offence) and 200 (evidence of witnesses on oath) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) for non-attendance in compliance of Section 50 (powers of authorities regarding summons, production of documents and to give evidence, etc.) of the PMLA has been taken too.

The agency has claimed that the accused persons were in touch with Kejriwal regarding the preparation of the excise policy for 2021-22. Back some day, Kejriwal had hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media. He had alleged that the opposition leaders were being forced to join the BJP. He alleged that the BJP is “harassing” them through the ED.
