Supreme Court Reserves Decision on Kejriwal’s Bail Plea; CBI Warns Witnesses May Turn Hostile
The Supreme Court has reserved its order on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea in a bribery case involving a “scam” in the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) probe. The CBI argued that witnesses, including Goa Assembly election ticket seekers, would likely turn hostile if Kejriwal is granted bail. The agency claims Kejriwal influenced the Punjab government to deny permission for investigation. The CBI’s concerns were countered by Kejriwal’s legal team, stating the Delhi High Court’s earlier dismissal due to lack of evidence.
