Kejriwal, Sisodia Appear Before Court

On Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia, appeared before a special court in connection with the ongoing Delhi liquor scam case.

The court was hearing a plea filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking their remand in custody.

Court Gives Important Instructions to ED

After hearing arguments from both sides, the court gave important instructions to the ED.

The court directed the ED to file a detailed status report on the investigation by September 16.

The court also directed the ED to not take any coercive action against Kejriwal and Sisodia till the next date of hearing.

Background of the Case

In July, the ED had filed a case against Kejriwal, Sisodia, and others in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi liquor policy.

The ED has alleged that the AAP government favored certain liquor companies in the allotment of licenses.

The AAP has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the BJP of using the ED to target its leaders.

Political Fallout

The Delhi liquor scam has become a major political issue in the national capital.

The BJP has been attacking the AAP government over the issue, while the AAP has accused the BJP of trying to destabilize the Delhi government.

The case is being closely watched by political observers, as it could have a significant impact on the upcoming assembly elections in Delhi.

Conclusion

The Delhi liquor scam case is a complex and ongoing investigation.

The court's instructions to the ED are a significant development in the case.

The next date of hearing is September 16, when the ED will file a detailed status report on the investigation.
