CBI Arrests Arvind Kejriwal: Arvind Kejriwal, national convenor of the AAP, has been formally arrested by the CBI in connection with the excise policy issue. In the Delhi excise policy case, Kejriwal has been placed under arrest.
Kejriwal was presented by the CBI at Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court, where the investigative body had requested his detention to examine the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). On Tuesday evening, June 25, the CBI team questioned Kejriwal in Tihar Jail as well.
Kejriwal’s plea is currently being heard by the Supreme Court at the time of his arrest. The Delhi CM has challenged the Delhi High Court‘s bail order stay through this petition.
Actually, on June 20, a lower court in Delhi gave Kejriwal bail; but, the High Court has suspended that decision. Following a hearing, the High Court granted a stay on Kejriwal’s release due to challenges raised by the ED.
