Arvind Kejriwal, chief minister of Delhi and a rival to prime minister Narendra Modi, was arrested in a late-night swoop by police on 21 March after he skipped nine summons by the Enforcement Directorate. The agency, which investigates financial crimes and is controlled by Mr Modi’s central government, has accused Mr Kejriwal of accepting 1bn rupees in bribes from contractors allegedly favoured by a liquor policy introduced by Delhi’s state administration in 2021. Mr Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is part of a broad opposition alliance called INDIA, the primary challenger to Mr Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. A few weeks ago, the primary opposition Congress party said income tax officials had frozen its bank accounts as part of Mr Modi’s agenda to “kill democracy”.
