by

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Delhi minister Kailash Gahlot for questioning on Saturday regarding a money-laundering case linked to the now-abolished excise policy for the capital, according to official sources.

Gahlot serves as an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA from Najafgarh and holds the portfolios of transport, home, and law in the Delhi government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who himself has been arrested by the federal agency in connection with the case.

Official sources told PTI that Gahlot has been called to appear for questioning in the case and to provide his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The case revolves around alleged corruption and money laundering associated with the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which was subsequently revoked.

Earlier, AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh were arrested by the ED in connection with the same case and are currently in judicial custody.
