Arvind Kejriwal's Pre-Trial Detention Extended Amid Delhi Elections

Indian opposition leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's pre-trial detention has been extended until May 20 by an Indian court, as reported by legal news website Live Law. This development comes amidst the upcoming national elections in the capital.

Kejriwal was taken into custody on March 21 by the country's financial crime-fighting agency in connection with corruption allegations concerning Delhi's liquor policy, which his party has refuted. The extension of his detention raises concerns and adds a layer of complexity to the political landscape as the election approaches.

Arvind Kejriwal, known for his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, continues to maintain his innocence in the face of these charges.
