Arvind Kejriwal became the first sitting Chief Minister in India's history to be arrested by an agency. Although we have seen many politicians get arrested by investigative agencies and police forces over the decades, it was the first time in the 75-year history of independent India that an active Chief Minister was arrested. Another reason why it is a massive moment in the country's political history is that we are talking about the Chief Minister of India's capital, Delhi.
It was on March 21, 2024, when the ED (Enforcement Directorate) reached Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal's residence at 6, Flag Staff Marg, Civil Lines, with a team of Delhi Police.

After reaching Arvind Kejriwal's residence, ED conducted searches and around 10 pm, Delhi's CM was arrested in a Rs. 100 crore Delhi liquor policy case.
