Summary of Liquor policy case: Why Arvind Kejriwal is now in CBI dragnet?
The Supreme Court was set to hear Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's plea regarding money laundering charges related to the alleged excise policies scam. However, on the same day, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Kejriwal in connection with the alleged liquor policy case. The CBI focuses on proving corruption and bribery by public servants, while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigates money trails. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on money laundering charges, but the CBI needed plausible evidence to link him directly to the alleged scam to arrest him. The Prevention of Corruption Act does not have strict bail qualifications like the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, allowing an accused to request regular bail under the Criminal Procedure Code. The impact of this arrest on Kejriwal's release remains uncertain.
