"Arvind Kejriwal Arrested in Corruption Crackdown Ahead of General Election"

Delhi Chief Minister and opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal has been arrested by India’s financial crime agency over corruption allegations related to the city’s liquor policy, which his party has called “dirty politics”. The arrest comes ahead of elections next month and is seen as a blow to the opposition alliance challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP. Kejriwal's party has rejected the allegations and described his arrest as a "political conspiracy" orchestrated by the ruling party. The Enforcement Directorate is investigating claims that a liquor policy implemented by Kejriwal's administration in 2022 gave undue advantages to private retailers, a policy that has since been withdrawn. Kejriwal will continue to serve as Delhi’s chief minister while fighting the accusations.
