TL;DR Summary

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi and leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, has been arrested by India's financial crime agency in connection with graft allegations related to the city's liquor policy, leading to protests and clashes outside his residence. The arrest comes ahead of elections and follows the arrests of two of Kejriwal's deputies in the same case. The AAP has called it "dirty politics" and is seeking to quash the arrest, while opposition parties have expressed concern over the situation. The Enforcement Directorate is investigating allegations that a liquor policy implemented by the Delhi government in 2022 gave undue advantages to private retailers, which was subsequently withdrawn.
