Delhi Court Acquits Arvind Kejriwal, Criticizes CBI Investigation in Liquor Policy Case
A court acquitted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and others in the Delhi liquor policy case, criticizing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for weak evidence and reliance on questionable witness statements. The verdict highlighted concerns over the politicization of investigative agencies, with the court recommending a departmental inquiry into CBI conduct. While the acquittal clears Kejriwal legally, sources note its limited political impact given the timing before elections and broader implications for institutional credibility.
