Arvind Kejriwal Withdraws Plea From Supreme Court

BY A STAFF REPORTER: In a significant move, arrested Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal withdrew the plea challenging his arrest from the Supreme Court on March 22, Friday.

Moreover, Kejriwal withdrew the plea as the hearing was clashing with the hearing in Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court. However, Arvind Kejriwal will submit the plea to the Supreme Court later. 

Justice Sanjiv Khanna was assigned to hear Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest. 

He will also be produced in the Rouse Avenue Court at 2:30 PM today. Section 144 has been imposed in the areas surrounding the Court.

Furthermore, the Delhi Police has detained several protesters including Delhi Ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj at ITO, New Delhi. 

Moreover, Atishi asserted that AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal will remain the Delhi CM after his arrest and run Delhi from the lockup. 

The Enforcement Directorate arrested Delhi CM and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal from his residence in connection with the Delhi Liquorgate case. He was arrested following search operations and Interrogations conducted by the ED at his residence on Thursday evening.

Arvind Kejriwal is the second sitting CM arrested by the ED in the last two months. Earlier, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren was arrested on 31st January by the ED in connection with the Land Scam and Mining Scam cases.
