Newsletter: Special Edition Breaking News: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Arrested

In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested late Thursday night in connection with an excise policy-related money laundering case. The arrest, executed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), has sent shockwaves throughout the political landscape and sparked a series of nationwide protests organized by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

The Case at a Glance

The case involves alleged irregularities and money laundering related to the implementation of the 2022 Delhi excise policy. The policy, which has since been scrapped, has been at the center of a heated political debate, with AAP leaders accusing the BJP-led central government of using the ED as a tool for political vendetta.

AAP’s Response

AAP minister Atishi Marlena has stated that the BJP is targeting Kejriwal due to his potential to challenge PM Modi in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. AAP Leader Raghav Chadha criticized the arrest as part of a conspiracy.

Legal Proceedings

The Supreme Court is set to hear an urgent plea regarding the arrest today. The arrest came after the Delhi High Court refused to grant Kejriwal protection from any coercive action by the agency.

Political Repercussions

Opposition parties have condemned the arrest, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi commenting on the state of democracy in the country. The BJP, on the other hand, has demanded Kejriwal’s immediate resignation, citing satisfaction over the arrest of a chief minister implicated in allegations of corruption.

As the situation unfolds, the nation watches with bated breath. The AAP has vowed to continue its protests, and with the Supreme Court hearing scheduled for today, all eyes are on the judiciary for the next course of action.
