Earlier on April 1, two cases related to Kejriwal were heard in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court and High Court. After the hearing, Kejriwal was sent to Tihar jail for 15 days.
Got a shock from Delhi High Court
It is noteworthy that on April 9, giving a blow to Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi High Court had rejected his petition. The court had said in its decision that investigation cannot be done separately against common people and special people. The court had made a strong comment on the matter and said that it cannot accept the argument of the Delhi CM that he has been arrested because of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The court also said that this issue should not be seen in the context of time, but only in the context of law.
what is the whole matter
Let us tell you, in the year 2021-22, the Delhi government had prepared a new excise policy. But there are allegations that there has been corruption and money laundering. However, the excise policy was later canceled. In this case, ED issued summons several times to interrogate CM Kejriwal, but Kejriwal did not join the ED’s interrogation every time, calling the summons illegal. After this ED filed a case in the court. ED had arrested Kejriwal in the case on March 21.
