In a major political development, Arvind Kejriwal acquitted headlines dominated national discourse after the Rouse Avenue Court cleared the former Delhi Chief Minister and 23 others in the high-profile Delhi liquor policy case. The verdict, delivered earlier today, brings significant relief to Kejriwal and senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, who were facing charges in the CBI case.
The court stated that the allegations could not be proven due to lack of concrete evidence. The judgment marks a dramatic turn in one of the most politically charged legal battles in recent years.
Emotional Moments Outside Court
Shortly after the verdict, Kejriwal stepped out of the courtroom visibly emotional. While addressing the media, he broke down and said, “I have earned honesty my entire life. They filed a false case. Today it has been proven that Kejriwal is fiercely honest.”
Standing beside him, Manish Sisodia was seen consoling the former Chief Minister. The two leaders hugged, and Kejriwal’s legal team offered support as cameras captured the emotional moment.
The Rouse Avenue Court verdict quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms, reflecting the case’s national significance.
Grand Welcome at Home
After leaving the court, Kejriwal returned to his residence, where heartfelt scenes unfolded. His wife, Sunita Kejriwal, ran towards him and embraced him warmly. His daughter and son stood nearby as the family shared emotional moments.
Sunita Kejriwal later took to X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“In this world, no matter how powerful one becomes, one cannot rise above Shiva Shakti. Truth always triumphs.”
The family welcomed Kejriwal and Sisodia with flowers, symbolizing both relief and celebration after months of political and legal uncertainty.
AAP Supporters Celebrate Across Delhi
Supporters of the Aam Aadmi Party celebrated the acquittal outside party offices in Delhi. Sweets were distributed, and party workers were seen dancing in joy.
Former Delhi CM Atishi visited Sisodia at his residence, where the two shared an emotional hug. The moment signaled unity within the party following the court’s decision.
Meanwhile, in Telangana, supporters of K. Kavitha—also named in the liquor policy case—celebrated the verdict. Kavitha greeted her supporters with folded hands as festivities broke out.
Why This Verdict Matters Now
The Delhi liquor policy case has been a major flashpoint in Indian politics, shaping narratives around governance, corruption allegations, and federal investigative actions. With elections and political alignments constantly evolving, today’s verdict could influence public perception and party strategies in the coming months.
Political analysts suggest that the acquittal may strengthen AAP’s narrative of political targeting. However, experts caution that legal proceedings in related matters may still shape the broader political landscape.
What’s Next?
While Arvind Kejriwal acquitted is the headline of the day, the political ramifications will unfold over time. For now, the images of a tearful leader embracing his family and party colleagues reflect both personal relief and a significant moment in contemporary Indian politics.
As celebrations continue, the verdict stands as a reminder that in the legal system, evidence remains the cornerstone of justice.
