The Supreme Court of India has granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam. Kejriwal had been in incarceration for over 90 days. The court has referred his plea challenging the arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to a larger bench. Despite the interim bail, Kejriwal will remain in jail as he is also in judicial custody in a related CBI case. The court's decision emphasized that mere interrogation does not justify arrest.
