India court extends suspension of bail order for Kejriwal

  • Kejriwal had temporary bail in May to campaign for the national elections
  • Opposition claims the charges are politically motivated by Modi's government
Update : 25 Jun 2024, 05:24 PM

An Indian court on Tuesday extended a hold on a lower court's order granting bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a graft case, leaving the key opposition leader in pre-trial detention.

India's federal financial crime-fighting agency arrested Kejriwal, a fierce critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in March on corruption allegations relating to the capital's liquor policy - accusations he has denied and said are politically motivated.

Kejriwal was granted bail by a city court on Thursday but investigators challenged the order in the Delhi High Court, which suspended the bail order as it considered the challenge.
