Late on Thursday evening, the Enforcement Directorate made a significant move by taking into custody Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the liquor policy case. This action came shortly after the Delhi High Court dismissed Kejriwal's plea for protection against 'coercive action' by the agency, which had repeatedly summoned him for questioning.
The arrest of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader followed an extensive interrogation session by an ED team, led by a Joint Director, conducted at his residence. The development came after the Delhi High Court's decision earlier in the day, where it declined to provide Kejriwal with any interim relief.
Kejriwal's apprehension marks a significant development in the alleged scam, with him becoming the most prominent figure to be arrested thus far. Prior to this, BRS lawmaker K. Kavitha, former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, and AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh were among those implicated in the case.
