ED Opposes Arvind Kejriwal’s Interim Bail Plea in Money Laundering Case

GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 1st June. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has contested an application filed by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal seeking interim bail in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. Before Special Judge Kaveri Baweja, the probe agency argued that Kejriwal had concealed facts and made false statements, including regarding his health.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Enforcement Directorate, informed the court that Kejriwal had also made misleading assertions during a press conference on Friday, claiming he would surrender on June 2. Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), had moved the application seeking interim bail for a week on health grounds. His legal counsel argued that Kejriwal is unwell and requires medical treatment.

The interim bail granted to the Chief Minister by the Supreme Court is set to expire on June 1. Kejriwal’s plea for extension comes amid ongoing legal proceedings in the money laundering case, with the ED countering his request based on allegations of misinformation and suppression of facts.
