Arvind Kejriwal, the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in connection with a money laundering case related to alleged excise policy fraud. Despite being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court, Kejriwal remains in custody due to a subsequent arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a related case.
The Supreme Court had previously provided interim bail to Kejriwal in the money laundering case. The court dismissed the State's argument that his ongoing judicial custody in the CBI's corruption case should preclude him from seeking similar relief in that case or other pending cases across various states.
