In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been apprehended by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following raids at his residence, related to the now-defunct Delhi liquor policy scandal. The arrest came swiftly after the Delhi High Court dismissed his plea for interim protection from arrest. A team of 11 ED officials descended upon Kejriwal's home with a search warrant, pertaining to allegations of money laundering in the Delhi excise policy.

Kejriwal, slated to undergo a medical examination, will be presented before the court on Friday. His detention marks the fourth high-profile arrest in the ongoing investigation, making him the first sitting chief minister ensnared in such controversy.

As ED officials continue their presence at Kejriwal's residence, reports suggest a potential transfer to the ED headquarters. Meanwhile, protests by AAP members have erupted outside his home. Amidst mounting legal battles, including a Supreme Court challenge against the Delhi High Court's decision, the fate of Kejriwal's leadership hangs in the balance. AAP leaders assert his determination to continue governing from behind bars, signaling a turbulent chapter in Delhi politics.
