Supreme Court Intervention
Last night, Kejriwal moved to the Supreme Court against the arrest by ED. However, he did not receive any special hearing late at night.

‘Attempt To Murder Democracy’
Meanwhile while addressing the media, Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi informed that, “We have filed an application in the Supreme Court against the illegal arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. It will be mentioned in the Supreme Court tomorrow morning. We hope that the Supreme Court will protect democracy.”
Atishi also raised concerns about the timing of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest. She highlighted that despite two years of investigation by both the CBI and the ED, no evidence of corruption has been found. The leader called Kejriwal’s arrest as an attack on democracy, Atishi emphasized that the BJP is aware of Kejriwal’s popularity and sees him as a formidable challenger to PM Modi in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
“Today, we all have seen an attempt to murder democracy. After the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections, Arvind Kejriwal, a popular CM of Delhi and a prominent leader of the opposition has been arrested on false charges. This investigation has been going on for two years, but neither the CBI nor the ED has found a single penny in two years of investigation. But as soon as the election is announced, Arvind Kejriwal is arrested. Why? Because PM Narendra Modi knows that if there is one leader who can challenge him, it is Arvind Kejriwal,” she said.
