Citing the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, the law enforcement agency has opposed Arvind Kejriwal’s bail request, claiming that he is an “aam aadmi” and that the law applies to him equally. After serving six months in jail, AAP leader Sanjay Singh was recently granted bail; it remains to be seen if the Delhi High Court will accept Arvind Kejriwal’s request for bail.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Durgesh Pathak and incarcerated Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s assistant (PA), Bibhav Kumar, have been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering investigation related to the Delhi Excise Policy 2021–22 case. The claims of corruption led to the policy’s withdrawal.
K Kavitha, an MLC for Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), was detained by the ED last month on suspicion of plotting with senior AAP officials to obtain preferential treatment when the Delhi Excise policy was being developed and carried out. In addition, the agency claims that she gave ₹100 crore in return for the favors. Since March 15, Kavitha has been in judicial custody.
In connection with the excise policy scandal, the ED has detained 16 people thus far, including Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, and Arvind Kejriwal, as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections draw near.
The high court denied a new request on Monday to remove Arvind Kejriwal from his position as chief minister, stating that the petitioner should have incurred “heavy costs” and that the case was filed primarily for “publicity.”
