Delhi Court Grants Bail to Arvind Kejriwal Amid Lack of Direct Evidence

A Delhi court has granted bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal due to insufficient direct evidence linking him to money laundering charges. The trial court's order, which was challenged by the Enforcement Directorate, highlights the agency's failure to provide substantial proof of Kejriwal's involvement in the alleged crime.

In a striking turn of events, Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been granted bail due to a lack of direct evidence connecting him to money laundering allegations. The Delhi court's decision underscores the Enforcement Directorate's failure to provide concrete proof in linking Kejriwal to the proceeds of crime.

The Special Judge Niyay Bindu emphasized the principle that every suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This ruling came after the ED failed to demonstrate any direct involvement of Kejriwal in the alleged excise scam, leading to his release on bail with conditional terms.

The judge also criticized the agency's delay in tracing the money trail and questioned the fairness of keeping Kejriwal in custody without substantial evidence. Despite the bail order, the Delhi High Court has stayed the decision upon the ED's appeal, indicating further legal challenges ahead.
