liquor policy-Kejriwal was the ‘kingpin’ of the alleged scam
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was produced in Rose Avenue Court, as Enforcement Directorate (ED) sought his 10-day custody in connection with the now-scrapped liquor policy. Speaking for ED, S V Raju said that Kejriwal was the ‘kingpin’ of the alleged scam, and the money was used for the Goa Legislative Assembly elections in 2022. Before appearing at the court, the Delhi CM said, “Whether I stay in jail, or outside, my life will be dedicated to serving the nation.” Kejriwal was arrested by the central agency late on Thursday on charges of corruption in relation to the case. It is the first time in independent India that a serving Chief Minister has been arrested. The move came after Kejriwal skipped multiple summons by the investigation agency, nine in total, calling them “illegal”.
