CM Kejriwal Granted Bail by Rouse Avenue Court Until April 1st

Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi's Chief Minister, faced significant attention as he attended the Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday. Despite previous non-attendance in response to several summons, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Divya Malhotra granted him bail until April 1st.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) lodged complaints against Kejriwal in court, accusing him of failing to comply with summons related to the Delhi excise policy scam case.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) asserted that Kejriwal had persistently ignored summons, obstructing the agency's investigation. These summonses were directed towards Kejriwal not in his role as Chief Minister, but as a pivotal individual in the investigation. Kejriwal also appealed to the Session Court, expressing aggravation over the numerous summons issued by the ED.

Kejriwal, on the other hand, had requested exemption from appearing in person, suggesting participation via video-conferencing due to his commitments in the ongoing Budget Session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly. The ED's complaint underscored Kejriwal's alleged disregard for directives from a public servant, emphasizing the significance of honoring investigative summonses.
