Legal Challenges and Court Proceedings
Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED in a money laundering case related to the excise policy has posed a legal challenge. The Aam Aadmi Party sources revealed that Kejriwal’s lawyers have challenged the remand orders in the High Court, claiming them to be invalid. Consequently, Kejriwal is eligible for immediate release pending the High Court’s decision. The matter is scheduled for a hearing before the Acting Chief Justice of the High Court on Sunday.
Court Proceedings and Allegations
Arvind Kejriwal appeared before the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi where the ED accused him of involvement in a liquor policy corruption scandal. The ED alleged that the Delhi liquor policy was designed for corruption. They argued in court that the money from the liquor scandal was used in the Goa elections. The ED identified Vijay Nayar as a key figure in this case. The central investigative agency claimed that Nayar played a pivotal role in this matter. The ED informed the court that Kejriwal was involved in this case through Nayar’s intermediary role.
