SP MLA Rafiq Ansari has been cleared by the MP-MLA court in a 1995 rioting and arson case due to lack of evidence. The case was about rioting during a protest over slaughtered animals. Ansari spent nearly 50 days in jail and faced several warrants but is now the last to be acquitted after others were already cleared. The court said there was no proof against him.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposes Arvind Kejriwal’s bail, claiming the trial court’s decision was illegal. They allege Kejriwal’s deep involvement in money laundering and the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) benefit from illicit funds. The ED also criticizes the judge for disregarding Kejriwal’s role in the money laundering case. Kejriwal has appealed to the Supreme Court for bail.
