Delhi High Court Dismisses Kejriwal’s Plea Against CBI Arrest

On Monday, the Delhi High Court rejected a plea from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam.

Justice Neena Bansal Krishna directed CM Kejriwal to seek interim bail from the trial court.

Kejriwal’s arrest has been a significant development in the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations surrounding the Delhi liquor policy.

The Delhi High Court recently reserved its judgment on a bail plea submitted by Kejriwal, who is also the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

The same day, the CBI presented its charge sheet against Kejriwal and other accused in a special court.

In addition to the CBI’s case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint accusing Kejriwal and AAP of money laundering.

The Supreme Court had previously granted Kejriwal interim bail on 12 July in the ED’s case, but he remained in custody due to his subsequent arrest by the CBI.

The court has extended Kejriwal’s judicial custody in the CBI case until 9 August and in the money laundering case until 13 August.

This extension underscores the ongoing legal battles faced by Kejriwal and the AAP amid these serious allegations.

As the legal proceedings continue, all eyes remain on the trial court’s decisions regarding Kejriwal’s pleas for interim bail, which could significantly impact the political landscape of Delhi and the functioning of the AAP government.
