The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has opposed an interim bail plea filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam.
The ED, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, alleged that Kejriwal has suppressed facts and made false statements, including about his health.
Kejriwal, who was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court till June 1st, has claimed ill health and sought an extension of his bail for a week.
The ED has also accused Kejriwal of making misleading statements at a press conference on Friday, where he claimed he would surrender on June 2nd.
The court is currently hearing arguments from both sides and will decide on Kejriwal's bail plea in due course.
This high-profile case has garnered significant media attention and raised questions about the alleged involvement of political figures in financial improprieties.
The outcome of the case will be closely watched as it may have implications for Kejriwal's political career and the ongoing investigation into the excise policy scam.
The ED, responsible for investigating financial crimes, has been at the forefront of the probe into the Delhi excise policy scam, which has already led to several arrests and seizures.
The allegations against Kejriwal are serious and could potentially damage his reputation and erode public trust in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which he leads.
As the case progresses, further details are expected to emerge, shedding more light on the alleged wrongdoing and the involvement of those implicated.
