With most of the accused getting bail in the liquor case, there is a talk that Kejriwal the CM will also get the bail today.Bail or no Jail? That is the question the Supreme Court will answer this morning as it rules on a plea by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal following his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation in June, in the alleged liquor excise policy scam.
Should it rule in his favour, Kejriwal will be released nearly six months after he was first arrested – by the Enforcement Directorate -and two months after getting bail for that arrest.
The Aam Aadmi Party boss could not leave then – on July 12 – as he had been arrested by the CBI just a few weeks earlier, after the ED dropped its challenge, in connection with the same case.
There is a talk that the case has already fizzled out as the Court stated that there was no proof regarding the alleged money. Where is the money is the question.
