In his first reaction after being discharged in the alleged Delhi excise policy corruption case, former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal became visibly emotional, calling the court’s decision a moment of “truth prevailing”.Kejriwal, who had faced months of legal scrutiny and political attacks, said the ruling reaffirmed his faith in the judicial process.A Delhi court discharged Kejriwal and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, observing that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failed to provide sufficient evidence to sustain the allegations. The case had centered on alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped excise policy, triggering a major political controversy.Addressing party workers and supporters, Kejriwal said the past months had been “deeply painful” for him and his family. He maintained that the charges were baseless and politically motivated.The court, in its order, noted that serious allegations must be supported by credible material and that attributing a central conspiratorial role without evidence cannot stand. The ruling marks a significant development in the high-profile case that had drawn national attention.
