Arvind Kejriwal Challenges High Court Decision In Supreme Court Over Money Laundering Case

On Tuesday, a Delhi court extended the judicial custody of BRS legislator K Kavitha until April 23. Kavitha stands accused of involvement in a bribery scheme related to liquor licenses in the national capital. Her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate on March 15 has intensified scrutiny over alleged corrupt practices within the political establishment. A previous denial of bail by a Delhi court cited concerns over evidence tampering and witness influence, underscoring the gravity of the accusations against her.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's petition against his arrest faced a setback when the High Court dismissed it on Tuesday. The court emphasized the substantial evidence possessed by the central agency, suggesting Kejriwal's personal involvement in shaping the excise policy and his alleged solicitation of kickbacks. This ruling underscores the seriousness of the allegations against Kejriwal and adds to the legal complexities surrounding the case.

In the midst of these legal proceedings, Delhi residents are bracing for a spike in temperatures, with forecasts predicting a rise to 39 degrees Celsius by Friday and Saturday. However, a silver lining emerges with the anticipation of light rainfall on Sunday and Monday, offering much-needed relief from the sweltering heat. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported Tuesday's maximum temperature in Delhi at 38 degrees Celsius, three degrees above the seasonal norm, highlighting the significance of weather fluctuations amid the ongoing legal and political developments.
