Should jailed politicians be allowed to campaign for elections? PIL moved in Delhi High Court
Election Commission of India (ECI) to immediately establish a mechanism enabling arrested political party leaders or candidates to continue campaigning during elections.

Specifically, Gupta highlights the timing of Arvind Kejriwal's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21.
