Arvind Kejriwal Arrested: After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was remanded to judicial custody on Monday until April 15 in the Delhi Liquor Policy case, his wife Sunita Kejriwal asked why he had been sent to jail. She further stated that the people of this country will answer this dictatorship. 

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) sought fifteen-day judicial custody for CM Kejriwal, citing his "non-cooperative behaviour" during the investigations. "Kejriwal's conduct has been non-cooperative, and he is giving evasive replies. The ED may require further custody in the future," said Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju, who represented the central probe agency in the court.
