New Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal under speculation

In a significant development, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is facing the possibility of arrest today, as leaders from his own Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) allege that a raid at his residence is imminent. This comes after Kejriwal refused to comply with summons for questioning in the Delhi liquor policy case. Roads leading to the Chief Minister’s home have reportedly been blocked by the Delhi police.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had issued three notices to Mr. Kejriwal, who is also the AAP’s national convenor. He had previously declined to appear before the ED on two occasions, first on November 2 and later on December 21. In light of his non-compliance, party sources suggested that fresh summons would be issued after examining Kejriwal’s response to the previous notices.

Amidst growing tensions, several AAP leaders, including senior party member and Delhi minister Atishi, took to social media, specifically X, to express concerns about a potential raid at Kejriwal’s residence. Atishi’s tweet indicates potential ED raid at @ArvindKejriwal’s residence tomorrow morning, raising concerns of imminent arrest.

 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has criticized the Enforcement Directorate (ED), accusing the agency of “maintaining unwarranted secrecy” in connection with the excise policy case. The remarks from Kejriwal come amidst growing tension surrounding the possibility of his arrest.

In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Kejriwal of evading a probe into the matter. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva stated, “Aam Aadmi Party leaders are making statements suggesting that their Chief Minister may face imminent arrest. They have been accused of involvement in theft and corruption, and now, they are creating a commotion.” The political landscape in Delhi remains charged as these contrasting views emerge on the ongoing investigations.
