Arvind Kejriwal has challenged his arrest by the ED in the Delhi excise policy case. The Court recently hinted that it may consider whether he should be released on interim bail in view of the ongoing election season.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Kavitha (46), the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15 in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested her on April 11 in Tihar jail, where she was lodged in the money laundering case being probed by the ED. Her judicial custody in both cases was scheduled to end on May 7.
The Supreme Court on Friday indicated that it would consider if Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested in the Delhi excise policy case, could be given interim bail in view of the ongoing elections.
