Indian authorities have arrested prominent opposition politician Arvind Kejriwal in an alleged corruption case, sparking controversy and accusations of political motives. Kejriwal, who leads the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and serves as the chief minister of Delhi, was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate, a federal financial crime agency.
The arrest is related to an investigation into a 2022 alcohol policy implemented by the Delhi government, which allegedly favored private retailers. The policy, which relinquished government control over liquor sales in the capital, was later revoked. Despite claims of no evidence of wrongdoing by AAP leaders, Kejriwal's arrest has ignited protests and criticism from opposition parties.
