Chronology of Events in Arvind Kejriwal's Excise Policy Corruption Case

The events surrounding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's involvement in the excise policy-linked corruption case span from the introduction of the policy in November 2021 to his ultimate bail granted by the Supreme Court on September 13, 2024. The case included interventions by the CBI and ED, multiple arrests, and various court proceedings.

In a timeline marked by escalating legal repercussions, the Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy-linked corruption case. The chronology highlights began in November 2021 when the Delhi government unveiled a new excise policy.

By July 2022, irregularities in the policy's implementation led Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to recommend a CBI probe. The following months saw the CBI and ED lodging cases, with multiple summonses and arrests, including Kejriwal's.

Numerous court hearings ensued, culminating in the Supreme Court's refusal of SC's appeal and ultimate bail to Kejriwal on September 13, 2024, citing prolonged incarceration as unjust deprivation of liberty.
