Delhi Liquor Policy Case

The court emphasized that the ED had limited options after Kejriwal repeatedly ignored summons in the money laundering case

The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday called for a "gherao" at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence. The protest came amid the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the liquor policy case. Security around PM Modi's residence at Lok Kalyan Marg has been increased.

Earlier petitions sought to annul all proceedings, including ED summonses, citing Kejriwal's role as a vocal critic of the ruling party, an opposition leader, and a member of the INDIA bloc.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee strongly condemned the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal by the ED in connection with the liquor policy case.

The AAP has asserted that Mr. Kejriwal will continue fulfilling his chief ministerial responsibilities from jail, a move that could potentially lead to a constitutional crisis, according to legal experts.

Hearing underway in Delhi High Court on Kejriwal's petition seeking protection from arrest in the Delhi Liquor Policy Scam case.

BRS leader K Kavitha was arrested by ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to the Delhi liquor policy probe.

On Thursday the court adjourned its proceedings and said the verdict will be announced today.

The Aam Aadmi Party leader, summoned on November 2, chose to campaign for the Madhya Pradesh election, escalating tensions around a potential arrest.

"You can't keep people behind bars, before a trial, for long (periods of time)," the top court remarked sharply in giving bail to Benoy Babu, the Regional General Manager. This is inappropriate.
