Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will not go to the Enforcement Directorate's office today for giving his statement on the Delhi liquor policy case. Mr Kejriwal has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate today.
Mr Kejriwal had been questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the case in April and this is the first time he has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate.
The CBI case hinges on the involvement of liquor companies in framing the excise policy, which would have brought them a 12 per cent profit. It has claimed that a liquor lobby had paid kickbacks. The Enforcement Directorate is probing the alleged laundering of the kickbacks.
Here are the live updates on Liquor Policy Case :
He will hold a road show, along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh as part of the party's election campaign there.

The Enforcement Directorate's notice is "illegal and politically motivated, sent at the behest of the BJP," Mr Kejriwal said in the letter, asking the same central probe agency that arrested his former deputy Manish Sisodia to "take back the notice immediately".
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also alleged the centre wants to arrest Mr Kejriwal in a politically motivated case.
Enforcement Directorate has summoned Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal to appear before them today in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
