Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s absence marked today’s court summons, where the Enforcement Directorate’s complaint against him for repeated non-appearance was slated for review. Kejriwal cited his engagement with the ongoing confidence motion and budget session in the Assembly as reasons for his inability to attend. Despite his desire to appear, the Chief Minister prioritized his responsibilities within the legislative framework.

A day prior, Kejriwal initiated a motion of confidence in the Assembly, alleging an orchestrated effort to destabilize his government. This move came amidst ongoing political tensions surrounding his administration. The AAP convener faces his sixth summons by the central probe agency, scheduled for Monday, further intensifying the scrutiny surrounding his actions.

In other developments, investigators delve into the cause of the tragic Alipur blaze that claimed eleven lives. Preliminary findings suggest a spark during welding, igniting paint surfaces and escalating into a catastrophic explosion in a room housing paint thinner drums. However, authorities are also exploring the possibility of a short circuit as the underlying cause. The incident, which unfolded two days ago in Outer Delhi’s Alipur, underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety protocols in industrial settings.
