Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, arrested in the excise corruption case, has been granted seven-day remand by the court for questioning.

The central investigation agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) produced ruling Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal in Delhi's Rouse Avenue court on Friday seeking a 10-day remand. After the hearing, the judge remanded him in custody till March 28 and allowed him to be questioned.

Kejriwal is the first Chief Minister in India's history to be arrested on corruption charges while in office. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was also arrested by ED a few days ago. However, unlike Kejriwal, he was not arrested during his tenure as Chief Minister.

However, analysts believe that there is a possibility that India's opposition will unite again after Kejriwal's arrest. Because the arrest of Kejriwal just a few weeks before the Lok Sabha elections in India has created a nationwide uproar. Because Kejriwal is the first Chief Minister in India's history to be arrested while in office.

Meanwhile, the opposition leaders of the country have condemned the incident of Kejriwal's arrest. Among them are many leaders who recently broke away from the India alliance. In this incident, some leaders have warned that the people of the country may have a 'revolution' against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Kejriwal founded the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2011. In 2015 and 2020, he won a landslide victory against Modi's strong party BJP. He won 67 seats in 2015 and 62 seats in 2020 in the 70-member assembly elections.
