Kejriwal’s arrest occurred on Thursday following a visit by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) team to his residence. The ED’s actions were in connection to the ongoing investigation into the Delhi liquor excise policy case, where Kejriwal is implicated. The Delhi High Court had earlier stated that it would not grant any protection to Kejriwal in relation to coercive measures taken against him in this case.

Reports indicate that ED officials visited Kejriwal’s office with summons related to the liquor case but ended up conducting a search at his residence. There are speculations about potential interrogation of Kejriwal in the coming days.
The ED has issued nine summons to Kejriwal in connection with the alleged money laundering case associated with the Delhi liquor excise policy scam. Despite the summons, Kejriwal did not appear for questioning, prompting the issuance of fresh summons for March 21, which he skipped as well.
The developments surrounding Kejriwal’s legal battles continue to unfold amid heightened scrutiny and legal maneuvers, reflecting the complexity and significance of the ongoing investigations.
