Arvind Kejriwal Arrested: ED’s Move Shakes Political Landscape

The Enforcement Directorate’s arrest of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal in the controversial excise policy case has sent shockwaves through the political arena, particularly with Lok Sabha elections looming. Kejriwal’s arrest marks a significant moment in Indian politics, as he becomes the first sitting Chief Minister to be arrested in the country. The development has sparked protests from hundreds of AAP activists outside Kejriwal’s residence and across Delhi, while allies and opponents have voiced contrasting opinions, with the BJP welcoming the ED’s action and the Congress condemning it.

In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at his official residence following the agency’s investigation into the excise policy case. The arrest, which comes after the Delhi High Court’s refusal to grant Kejriwal protection in the money laundering case, has triggered widespread protests by AAP supporters and prompted reactions from political adversaries and allies alike. Kejriwal’s arrest underscores the intense political climate ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, with the incident further polarizing opinions across party lines.
