Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday moved High Court challenging his arrest and the order of remand passed by the trial court on Friday, March 22. The plea in Delhi High Court stated that both the arrest and the remand order are illegal and Kejriwal is entitled to be released from custody immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The High Court denied an urgent listing of the plea filed by AAP convener Kejriwal. The matter will be now listed on Wednesday, as per reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Delhi Chief Minister\u2019s legal team, an immediate hearing has been sought from the acting Chief Justice, Justice Manmohan, preferably by March 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On March 21, Kejriwal was interrogated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at the Delhi CM\u2019s residence in the 2021-2022 Delhi liquor policy case. During ED\u2019s search operation, Kejriwal was arrested amidst dramatic circumstances as the AAP chief failed to obtain interim protection from arrest in the Delhi excise policy case from the Delhi High Court earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city court on March 22 granted seven days of custody of Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal to ED till March 28 for Kejriwal\u2019s detailed and sustained interrogation regarding his role in the alleged Delhi excise policy case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Delhi CM\u00a0on March 22 withdrew his petition in the apex court\u00a0against his arrest by the ED, as the party decided to contest the ED custody first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the day, Delhi Minister Atishi said that ED has failed to establish a money trail against any AAP leader despite multiple raids, arrests and a two-year-long investigation into the alleged liquor policy scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the press conference, Atishi claimed that the money trail was in fact found in the BJP\u2019s account and challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ED to arrest the BJP national president JP Nadda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AAP leader also said that P Sarath Chandra Reddy, head of Aurobindo Pharma, was arrested by the ED in November in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. He has donated crores of money to the BJP through electoral Bonds, Atishi claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
