Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday was arrested in connection with the excise policy case, said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi.
A team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) reached the residence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday evening to question him in connection with the excise policy case. As many as 4-5 phones and two tablets have been seized by the ED from the CM’s residence.
This came hours after the Delhi High Court denied any interim protection from arrest to Kejriwal in connection with the summons issued to him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the liquor policy scam case.
Meanwhile, sources said the Delhi CM’s team filed a petition challenging HC’s order denying interim relief to him in the excise policy case. Sources in the legal team confirmed that an urgent hearing before the Supreme Court is being attempted. Attempts for a midnight hearing are underway.
CPRF and Rapid Action Force (RAF) teams have been deployed outside Kejriwal’s residence.
