Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has arrived at Tihar jail, while police have detained several AAP leaders who were protesting outside the facility.

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has been sent to Tihar jail until April 15 following an order from the Rouse Avenue court. This decision led to protests by several AAP leaders outside Tihar jail.

Responding to her husband's judicial custody, Sunita Kejriwal criticized the Centre, calling it a "dictatorship" and expressing confidence that the people of the country would respond to such actions.

The court had previously extended Arvind Kejriwal's Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody until April 1. He was arrested by the ED on March 21 in connection with an alleged liquor policy case.

During a hearing on Thursday, the ED requested further time to question Kejriwal and confront him with other individuals. The agency also mentioned that statements from some AAP Goa candidates were being recorded. The ED argued that Kejriwal was uncooperative during questioning.

The ED has accused Kejriwal of being a key figure in a liquor scam, alleging that he received substantial kickbacks from the 'South Group' for shaping the Delhi excise policy and utilizing those funds in elections in Goa and Punjab.
