Arvind Kejriwal Arrested By Enforcement Directorate In Liquor Policy Case
New Delhi: The Delhi Chief Minister has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate. A 12-member team of the Enforcement Directorate reached Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official residence with a search warrant in the excise policy case.
Hours after the Delhi High Court denied relief to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team reached his residence here on Thursday evening to carry out a search and serve him a summons to join the probe in an excise policy-linked money- laundering case, officials said.
They said a six-member team of the federal probe agency, along with an escort of the Delhi Police, reached his official residence on Flagstaff Road in the national capital.
The ED action against Kejriwal, coming amid campaign for the Lok Sabha polls, drew strong reactions from his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The agency may arrest him or take him to its office in central Delhi for questioning, sources said, even though there was no official word on the agency’s likely course of action.
The high court did not grant any protection to Kejriwal from the agency’s action in the case, they said. As fresh developments unfolded through the day, Kejriwal moved the Supreme Court against the high court’s order denying him any relief in the matter.
