00:00 Developmental news coming in from the national capital of Delhi, where Chief Minister Arvind

00:06 Kejriwal finds himself entangled in legal controversy.

00:10 The Enforcement Directorate has escalated its action against Kejriwal filing a complaint

00:15 alleging deliberate defiance of summons related to the excise policy case.

00:20 Sources within the ED indicate that the court has taken notice of this complaint, suggesting

00:26 a prima facie acceptance of Kejriwal's offence under section 174 of the Indian Penal Code.

00:33 Despite the mounting pressure, Kejriwal has declined to appear before the Central Agency

00:37 for the sixth time.

00:39 In response, his party, the Aam Aadmi Party, insists that the matter now rests with the

00:44 courts.

00:45 "We are responding to the legal team.

00:47 The court has filed a case.

01:00 manoeuvres.

01:02 On February 17, Kejriwal was granted exemption from personal appearance by a Delhi court

01:07 with the case adjourned to March 16.

01:09 However, the ED remains resolute, seeking legal opinion and planning to issue further

01:15 summons in the days ahead.

01:17 The central issue revolves around Kejriwal's repeated non-compliance with ED summons in

01:22 the excise policy-linked money laundering case.

01:25 This saga began on February 3 when Kejriwal skipped the agency's fifth summons, prompting

01:31 the ED to file a complaint before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra.

01:41 remains uncertain.
