Today (29th May): The Supreme Court of India has denied Arvind Kejriwal’s request for a 7-day extension of interim bail in a corruption case related to the Delhi liquor policy. The court deemed the plea “not maintainable,” citing the option to seek regular bail. Kejriwal’s counsel emphasized health complications and the need for medical examination. Despite plea, the court instructed surrender by June 2.
Today (27th April): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal responded to the ED’s affidavit in the Supreme Court, stating that no evidence connects the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to funds from the South group during the Goa election campaign. He accused the ED of misusing its power of arrest, claiming it was politically motivated. Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED is related to a money laundering investigation concerning alleged irregularities in the now-canceled Delhi excise policy for 2021–22.
