Delhi Court Drops Corruption Case Against Arvind Kejriwal: A Major Victory for AAP Leader

A Delhi court has dismissed a significant corruption case against former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and twenty-three others involved in a liquor policy scam. Kejriwal, from the Aam Aadmi Party, was arrested in March 2024 over allegations that the policy favored private sellers. The two thousand twenty-one policy aimed to increase revenue and reduce black market sales but was scrapped due to claims of favoritism. Kejriwal, his former deputy Manish Sisodia, and spokesperson Sanjay Singh spent months in jail after bail denials from lower courts. They received relief from Indias Supreme Court. The judge criticized the Central Bureau of Investigation for a weak probe based on unreliable witness statements, suggesting probing the lead investigator. The CBI plans to appeal, but this ruling marks a significant victory for Kejriwals team as they prepare for future political battles in Delhi.
