The Delhi HC is scheduled to deliver Tomorrow (April 9th) its verdict on a plea by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is in judicial custody in a money laundering case linked with the alleged excise scam, challenging his arrest.
The Delhi High Court Today (April 8th) rebuked a former AAP MLA-Sandeep Kumar who approached the court seeking instructions to oust Arvind Kejriwal from his position as CM of Delhi. This move came subsequent to Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED in connection to the money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy scam.
The Rouse Avenue Court Today (April 5th) reserved the order on an application filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. His request was to raise the frequency of legal meetings with his lawyers from twice a week to five times. He argued that due to multiple FIRs across various states, there’s a significant legal workload, warranting more meetings.

Today (5th April): The Rouse Avenue Court has allowed the CBI to interrogate BRS leader K Kavitha in Tihar Jail regarding the Delhi excise policy case. Kavitha was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate for alleged money laundering. The interrogation seeks information about recovered chats and a land deal related to bribery allegations. Kavitha is currently in judicial custody, with a verdict on her interim bail plea expected on April 8.
The Enforcement Directorate has outlined a pattern of corruption and manipulation in a land scam worth Rs 600 crore, implicating former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The chargesheet identifies Hemant Soren, revenue officer Bhanu Pratap Prasad, and two other government employees as defendants.
Today (4th April) A Delhi court ordered the Enforcement Directorate to provide a copy of the charge sheet to the accused in the DJB money laundering case involving Delhi Jal Board tenders. The accused include DJB’s former chief engineer and a contractor. The ED alleges bribe money was funneled to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faces previous money laundering charges and is presently in judicial custody.
The ED asserted to the Delhi High Court Today (April 3rd) that Arvind Kejriwal, cannot use the approaching Lok Sabha elections or his CM status as grounds for special treatment in his money laundering case. The ED counsel analogized by questioning, “Consider a scenario where a terrorist, also a politician, detonates an army vehicle and claims immunity to contest elections. What logic is this?”
