After ED, now CBI gets ready to grill Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal; Here's all about the Excise Policy case
Arvind Kejriwal in an alleged money laundering case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has intensified its scrutiny. This move comes as the CBI interrogated Kejriwal at Tihar Jail on Tuesday, where he has been held since his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21. The CBI is now set to approach a Delhi court to seek custody of Kejriwal on Wednesday.
According to news reports by India Today, as told to them by sources, the CBI may arrest Arvind Kejriwal and demand his custody.

«The vacation judge...following judicial discipline should not have observed...particularly in light of an observation made in judgment dated 09.04.2024,» the high court noted, referring to the lower court's handling of ED's allegations of «mala fide» intent.
