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.
Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal’s name has been mentioned multiple times in the charge sheets that are filed by the ED in the excise policy case. The agency has claimed that the accused persons were in touch with Kejriwal regarding the preparation of the excise policy for 2021-22.
