A number of AAP politicians including Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal have been jailed in the Delhi liquor policy case. After arresting Kejriwal last month (June 2024), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said that Kejriwal has blamed Sisodia for making the dubious liquor policy. Kejriwal denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, the court has ordered Kejriwal to stay in jail till July 12 in the corruption case linked to the liquor policy scam. However, Kejriwal has approached the Delhi High Court for getting bail.
