Arvind Kejriwal bail hearing: LIVE UPDATES from Delhi court

A trial court in Delhi is hearing two cases concerning the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

Kejriwal was arrested on accusations of being part of a conspiracy to launder money allegedly received as kickbacks in exchange for intentionally leaving behind loopholes in the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy of 2021-22.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has alleged that these loopholes were meant to benefit certain liquor sellers and that the bribes received were allegedly used to fund the AAP's election campaign in Goa.

Kejriwal has denied the allegations and counter-accused the ED of running an extortion racket.

Today, the Rouse Avenue court will hear Kejriwal's bail plea as well as his application to allow his wife, Sunita Agarwal, to join through video conference when Arvind Kejriwal is medically examined to assess his health.
