LIVE UPDATES: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor excise policy scam.

In a significant development earlier today, the Delhi High Court declined to provide any interim protection from coercive measures to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief. Kejriwal’s arrest reportedly falls under the purview of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.

Approximately two hours subsequent to the High Court’s decision, a team of ED officials arrived at the residence of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for interrogation, amidst a protest staged by AAP workers outside his house.
