Earlier today, the CBI moved to arrest Arvind Kejriwal after he was brought from Tihar Central Jail, where he is currently held in connection with a money laundering case under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Simultaneously, the Supreme Court granted Kejriwal permission to withdraw his petition challenging the Delhi High Court's interim bail stay in the same money laundering case linked to an alleged liquor policy scam.

On June 20, Special Judge Niyay Bindu, acting as a vacation judge, granted bail to Kejriwal, citing the ED's failure to present direct evidence linking him to the crime's proceeds.

However, the High Court suspended this bail order on June 21, pending a decision on the stay. The High Court has also issued a notice to Kejriwal, asking for his response to the ED's plea challenging the trial court's decision, with the hearing scheduled for July 10.
