The Rouse Avenue Court will review the supplementary chargesheet filed against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on August 12, regarding his alleged involvement in the Delhi liquor policy scam. Kejriwal is currently in jail on corruption charges.
On July 29, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) submitted the supplementary chargesheet, identifying Kejriwal as one of the main conspirators and the mastermind of the scam. The CBI claims to have substantial direct evidence implicating him. The chargesheet also includes allegations against Aam Aadmi Party leader Durgesh Pathak, businessman P. Sarath Reddy, Vinod Chauhan, Ashish Mathur, and Amit Arora.
The High Court had reserved its decision on Kejriwal’s regular bail plea on July 29. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna had earlier reserved the order on Kejriwal’s petition, which challenges his arrest and requests interim bail, on July 17. Kejriwal has maintained that his arrest is illegal, while the CBI asserts that his detention followed legal protocols and was based on substantial evidence.
