Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, had a dramatic turn in his political career today when he was taken into custody by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This led to a flurry of legal activities and political reactions in the nation's capital. The arrest comes after a string of legal setbacks, including the drama surrounding the case being further heightened by the Delhi High Court's decision to maintain Kejriwal's bail stay.

The proceedings at the Rouse Avenue Court, where Kejriwal was brought following his arrest, were characterized by heated exchanges between Kejriwal's legal team and the CBI. Kejriwal was placed under a five-day remand, as requested by the CBI, which claimed that Kejriwal's detention was required to obtain vital information linked to current investigations. As a response, Kejriwal's attorney, Vikram Chaudhary, fiercely disputed the reasons for the arrest, claiming that Kejriwal had complied with the investigation to the fullest and contesting the need for jail remand.
During the hearing, Chaudhary emphasized that Kejriwal's detention was unjustified and without legal basis, saying, "The arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is a blatant misuse of investigative agencies for political vendetta."

Concerns over Kejriwal's health increased the drama in the courtroom when it was revealed that his blood sugar levels had dropped throughout the hearing, forcing the judge to grant medical aid. Kejriwal's followers gathered in solidarity outside the courthouse, denouncing the detention and charging the ruling party with planning an attack with political motivations.
In addition to igniting political unrest, the Chief Minister of Delhi's detention has sparked concerns about the objectivity of the nation's investigative institutions within its democratic framework. Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) strongly denounced the detention in a statement, calling it an attempt to stifle criticism and undermine democratic standards.
