Indian law enforcement officials have arrested Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi and a prominent opposition leader, on charges of money laundering, which his supporters believe have been fabricated by the governing Bharatiya Janata Party. Kejriwal, from the Aam Aadmi Party, has been accused of involvement in selling liquor licenses and accepting kickbacks. This arrest is part of a broader pattern where opposition leaders are being targeted before the upcoming national elections. The BJP, despite being the leading party, faces scrutiny over its campaign financing and potential unfair practices.
