Sources familiar with the matter informed PTI that Gahlot has been summoned to provide his statement and undergo questioning under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The ongoing case has already led to the imprisonment of AAP leaders Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Arvind Kejriwal on similar charges.

Notably, Kailash Gahlot, alongside Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj, stands as one of the few prominent AAP figures who are not currently incarcerated.

Kejriwal’s arrest on March 21, following the Delhi High Court’s refusal to shield him from arrest in relation to the excise policy, occurred after he disregarded nine prior summonses issued by the Enforcement Directorate.
