Delhi Excise Policy Case: List of top leaders arrested in 'liquor scam'
Delhi Excise Policy Case: The Enforcement Directorate has arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, bringing the total number of top leaders arrested in the Delhi excise policy case to four.
Arvind Kejriwal: The AAP head has become the first serving Chief Minister to face arrest. He is the party's third senior leader to be arrested in the case, raising concerns about the party's future, as he has insisted on continuing to run the government from behind bars. Kejriwal was arrested hours after the Delhi High Court denied him protection in the liquor policy case. He skipped nine summons issued by the ED.
Manish Sisodia: ED arrested former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on 9 March 2023 after questioning him for several hours inside the Tihar Jail.

K Kavitha: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was also arrested by ED a few days ago.
