NDTV
The Enforcement Directorate, which is investigating a money laundering angle in the alleged liquor policy scam, had called Arvind Kejriwal a "conspirator".
Battlelines are drawn after the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate in the alleged liquor policy scam, with his Aam Aadmi Party calling nationwide protests outside the BJP offices.
The Supreme Court is likely to take up Mr Kejriwal's challenge to his arrest, a day after it denied an urgent hearing in the case. The probe agency, meanwhile, will produce the Chief Minister in an ED court by the probe agency.
Mr Kejriwal is the first serving Chief Minister to be arrested in the country. His arrest, just weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, has unleashed waves of protest by thousands of the party workers and condemnation from the Opposition camp. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will also visit Mr Kejriwal's family today, said sources,
