Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is currently in jail and was waiting for relief from the Supreme Court to take part in the election campaign but on Monday he was disappointed. The Supreme Court issued a notice to the ED on the petition challenging the arrest but did not accept the demand to hear the matter this Friday, appealing for permission to participate in the election campaign. The court has asked the ED to file its reply by April 24 and has ordered the hearing of the case in the week starting from April 29. It has become clear that Kejriwal cannot get any relief in this matter till 28th April. Amidst all this, along with Kejriwal, a powerful female leader of South India is also an accused in this case. Therefore it is important to know about them.

Kavita's side in excise case
Kavita has till now denied her involvement in the Delhi Excise case. He had told the media during the Telangana Assembly elections in 2023 that I have nothing to do with this matter. I have been accused without any basis. We are giving them a proper reply. We are exposing the misuse of government investigating agencies.

Kavita was detained in this case last month. Since then he is lodged in Tihar Jail. Many big leaders of Aam Aadmi Party have been made accused in this case. Sanjay Singh is currently out on bail. While Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal and former Delhi government minister Manish Sisodia are still in jail. Recently, Kavita had sought bail by giving charge of her son's examination. But the court rejected it.
This is how the case was entered
On December 1, 2022, a CBI team met Kavita and interrogated her regarding Delhi Aapki Policy. The team interrogated for about seven hours. After answering this question, he received a notice from CBI that he would have to cooperate in the inquiry to be held on December 6 regarding alleged corruption in the excise policy of Delhi government.
