A day after the Delhi High Court dismissed his petition challenging his arrest in the liquor policy case, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal approached the Supreme Court today. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader’s counsel will raise the matter before Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud around 10.30 am and seek an urgent hearing.
The high court yesterday dismissed Mr Kejriwal’s challenge to his March 21 arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The court held that the central agency was left with “little” after the AAP leader skipped multiple summonses in the money laundering case. It also pointed to the ED’s allegation that Mr Kejriwal was actively involved in the use and concealment of alleged proceeds of crime.
