Arvind Kejriwal's appearance in the Rouse Avenue Court marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing probe by the Enforcement Directorate into the Delhi excise policy case, where he stands accused of being the central figure.

Speaking to reporters, CM Kejriwal denounced what he described as a concerte effort to tarnish the image of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and himself. Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate pressed for an extension of Kejriwal's custody, citing the need for further interrogation to confront him with individuals associated with the case.

Questioning the basis of his arrest, Kejriwal challenged the validity of relying solely on witness statements to detain a sitting Chief Minister. As he made his way into the courtroom, Kejriwal denounced the situation as a political ploy, reiterating claims of a conspiracy against him.

Inside the court, prominent AAP ministers including Atishi, Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, were present to support him amidst the legal proceedings.
