Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the liquor policy scam case, AAP leader Atishi said. The arrest comes after the Delhi High Court, earlier in the day, denied any interim protection from arrest to Kejriwal in connection with the summons issued to him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the liquor policy scam case. WHAT IS ARVIND KEJRIWAL’S CONNECTION WITH LIQUOR POLICY SCAM CASE? The ruling AAP government in the national capital introduced a series of changes in its liquor excise policy in 2021. The changes included the cessation of government-owned liquor stores with the issuance of store operation licenses to private entities, lowering of the legal drinking age from 25 to 21 years, and separate registration criteria for liquor brands on account of factors such as pricing and sales performance in areas outside of Delhi. It also proposed an increase in the annual liquor vending license fee from Rs 8 lakh to Rs 75 lakh. #liquorgatescam #delhiexcisepolicyscam #arvindkejriwal #aap #englishnews
