Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, releases a video exposing the plot behind her husband's arrest. She claims that an NDA MP falsely accused Kejriwal of corruption after his son was arrested by ED. Sunita urges the public to support her "kattar imaandar" husband and questions the actions of Modi government in this political conspiracy.
In a video statement, AAP leader Sanjay Singh stated that the BJP and CBI have conspired to frame Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a "fake case." Singh questioned how justice can be obtained when such conspiracies occur and stated that the people will protest this. The BJP and CBI have not yet responded to the allegations.
The Delhi High Court has asked for the Central Bureau of Investigation's stand on Arvind Kejriwal's bail plea in connection with a corruption case. The court listed the matter for hearing on July 17 and also noted that the petition may be considered at the time of arguments. Kejriwal's lawyer argued that he should be granted bail as there is no possibility of flight risk, non-cooperation, or influencing witnesses. However, the CBI argued that a writ petition filed by Kejriwal challenging his arrest and three-day remand is already listed for hearing on the same date. The court also questioned why Kejriwal had not filed a bail plea before the trial court.
The Delhi High Court will hear Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's petition challenging his arrest and remand in the CBI case related to the now-scrapped excise policy. A single-judge bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna will hear the matter after a petition was filed on Monday. Kejriwal has also challenged a previous order granting him custody to the CBI and is currently in judicial custody till July 12 in the corruption case. The CBI had arrested him from Tihar jail on June 26 and the trial court has stated that his further custodial interrogation may be required.
In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the liquor excise policy case. This comes after the Delhi court remanded Kejriwal to judicial custody until 12 July, citing him as one of the "main conspirators" in the case. Kejriwal's petition also challenges the court's 26 June order that placed him in three-day custody, calling it "arbitrary" and "unfair." The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader's move has sparked speculation and controversy, with the CBI claiming he was uncooperative during the investigation and might try to influence witnesses. Don't miss this exclusive update on the ongoing legal battle between Kejriwal and the CBI.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been sent to judicial custody till July 12 in connection with a money laundering case related to the now-scrapped excise policy. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has ordered a probe into the roof collapse incident at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and directed the airport operator to conduct a thorough inspection. In other news, former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has predicted that the BJP will be defeated in the upcoming assembly polls in the state and criticized the party for his arrest in a money laundering case related to illegal land possession.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has examined Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case and received permission for his production before the trial court. After being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March 2024, Kejriwal is currently in judicial custody. However, the Delhi High Court stayed his bail order, stating that the trial court should have ensured the fulfilment of specific conditions before granting bail. This further showcases the ongoing tension between Kejriwal and the Modi government, with the Aam Aadmi Party's lawyer calling it a "vindictive mindset."
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a supplementary chargesheet in Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court in connection with the Excise policy case. The chargesheet has been filed against Vinod Chauhan, who is accused of transferring bribes allegedly received by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) via hawala. The matter is set to be heard on July 1 and Chauhan, who was arrested in Goa in May, is in judicial custody. The ED has alleged that he was involved in Hawala transfers and cash movements and also acted as a middleman for bureaucrats and politicians.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested by the CBI for allegedly orchestrating the sale of liquor licenses to fund election campaigns, addressed the Rouse Avenue Court to dismiss claims that he tried to shift blame to a party colleague. He stated that he did not make any such statements, and that the CBI was spreading fake news to defame him and the Aam Aadmi Party. The court also noted that the evidence presented did not support the prosecution's claims. Kejriwal also revealed his communication with party leader Manish Sisodia, where he instructed to keep certain points in mind for the liquor policy.
In response to her husband's arrest by the CBI in an alleged excise policy scam, Sunita Kejriwal took to Twitter to launch a veiled attack on the BJP-led government. She accused the system of trying to keep her husband in jail and described the situation as a dictatorship and emergency. In light of this, AAP boycotted the President's address in Parliament.
