CBI arrests Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy case, accusing him of a pivotal role.

The CBI has justified the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy case, accusing him of playing a "pivotal role" in the formulation and implementation of the policy. The CBI claims Kejriwal's involvement is crucial for a just conclusion of the investigation, citing his non-cooperation and substantial evidence pointing to his involvement. Kejriwal's petition seeking release from jail has been postponed by the Supreme Court to September 5, allowing the CBI to file another affidavit opposing bail for Kejriwal. Kejriwal has also appealed against the August 5 decision of the Delhi High Court, which upheld his arrest and denied him bail.
