The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took a significant step in its ongoing investigation into alleged corruption related to Delhi’s excise policy by arresting Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday. The arrest came after Special Judge Amitabh Rawat issued an order following a request from the CBI.
Kejriwal had been produced before the court after being held at Tihar Central Jail. This arrest marks a major development in the case, which has garnered significant attention.
The CBI’s investigation centers around alleged irregularities and financial improprieties in the implementation of Delhi’s excise policy. This policy, which was introduced in 2021, aimed to streamline the sale of liquor in the capital. However, allegations of corruption and money laundering related to the policy surfaced soon after its implementation.
The CBI’s probe into these allegations has been ongoing for several months, and the arrest of Kejriwal signifies a significant intensification of the investigation.
The arrest of a sitting Chief Minister is a significant event, and it is expected to have far-reaching political ramifications. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Kejriwal and the ongoing investigation. This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
