An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team reached Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in Delhi after the high court refused to grant him protection from coercive action in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
The team went to his house to serve him a summons in the case. Kejriwal had earlier skipped multiple summonses of the agency. The ED team told the CM's staff that they have a search warrant as well.
According to news agency ANI, the Delhi CM moved Supreme Court and his legal team is attempting to seek an urgent hearing on the matter.
Earlier in the day, a Delhi High Court bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Manoj Jain refused to grant Kejriwal any protection from coercive action in the case and listed his application for further consideration on April 22 when his main petition challenging the summons is slated for hearing.
