Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Arrested By CBI In Liquor Policy Scam Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) formally arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam case.

After questioning him in Tihar Jail, the agency produced him before the Rouse Avenue Court.

The court granted permission to the CBI to produce CM Kejriwal before the special court on Wednesday.

This development follows intense scrutiny and investigations into the alleged irregularities surrounding the liquor policy during his tenure.

Simultaneously, in a significant legal move, Kejriwal withdrew his plea filed before the Supreme Court challenging the interim stay imposed by the Delhi High Court on his release on bail in a related money laundering case linked to the same scam.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, informed a Vacation Bench of Justices Manoj Misra and S V N Bhatti that he would present a fresh plea before the apex court.

This decision comes after the Delhi High Court stayed the trial court’s order granting bail to CM Kejriwal in the money laundering case, emphasizing procedural lapses in the lower court’s handling of the matter.

In its recent verdict on a plea filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Delhi High Court criticized the trial court for not fully considering all relevant materials and failing to provide equal opportunity to the ED to argue the bail application.

The arrest of Kejriwal and the withdrawal of his Supreme Court plea mark significant developments in the ongoing legal saga surrounding the allegations against the Delhi Chief Minister.
