DIVYA DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal Supreme Court hearing: If Arvind Kejriwal is granted interim bail, ED says it would establish a bad precedent. The ED said it would create a bad precedent because politicians have no more criminal prosecution rights than ordinary citizens. Around 5,000 MP cases are pending nationwide. Can they all be released on bail? On Tuesday, May 7, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) rejected the Supreme Court's recommendation to grant Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal interim release for the Lok Sabha elections in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
