AAP national convener and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 21 March in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case. He is in judicial custody till 15 April and is currently lodged in Tihar jail.

The case pertains to alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government's excise policy 2021-22 which was later scrapped.

While Kejriwal has denied any wrongdoing, the ED told the Delhi High Court last week that the chief minister was the "kingpin" and the "key conspirator" of the "excise scam" and there were "reasons to believe" on the basis of material in its possession that he was guilty of the offence of money laundering.
