The Supreme Court today granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor, Arvind Kejriwal in the money laundering case linked to the alleged liquor policy scam.
A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta referred to a larger bench the Delhi Chief Minister’s petition challenging the arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Mr Kejriwal will however remain in the Tihar Jail as he has also been arrested by the Central Bureau Of Investigation (CBI) under the Prevention of Corruption Act about the same liquor policy case.
The ED arrested the Delhi Chief Minister on the 21st of March in the case. He was released on the 10th of May by the Supreme Court to campaign for the Lok Sabha polls.
He returned to jail on the 2nd of June after the Apex Court denied him any further relief. The AAP leader had initially approached the Delhi High Court to challenge ED’s arrest.
However, his plea was dismissed on the 9th of April. He later moved to the apex court, which issued notice on his plea on April 15.
