The Supreme Court granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the excise policy case, citing the triple condition for granting bail. This comes after Kejriwal was arrested by both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case, spending nearly six months in jail.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the alleged excise policy scam. The arrest comes ahead of the Supreme Court hearing on granting bail to Kejriwal, who is also facing money laundering charges in the case. The CBI is investigating the case from the perspective of corruption and bribe-taking by public servants, while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is probing the case from a money laundering angle.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody in the money laundering case will expire today. Amidst allegations and denials over his diabetic condition, a court will decide on his custody extension. The Enforcement Directorate claims Kejriwal’s allegations are an attempt to secure bail, while the AAP alleges political pressure and denial of insulin to Kejriwal, who suffers from diabetes.
