Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in excise policy-linked money laundering case, the official sources said.

The arrest, the first of a sitting chief minister, came hours after the Delhi High Court refused to grant protection to Kejriwal from any coercive action by the agency.
Soon after the high court order, an ED team reached his residence and carried out searches. Subsequently, he was arrested, officials said.
