Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar likely to be arrested by ED in excise policy case?

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate on Monday questioned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar in the excise policy-linked money laundering case and ED sources said he is likely to be arrested.

Kumar’s statement was recorded under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and further questioning is likely either tomorrow or after the Eid festival.

The ED said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Durgesh Pathak has been called for questioning in the case after recording Kumar’s statement.

Meanwhile, the Supreme court dismissed AAP leader Sanjay Singh’s plea against a Gujarat HC order rejecting his petition to quash summons issued to him by a local court in criminal defamation case.
