Arvind Kejriwal jailed in defamation case

With elections looking inevitable in the Capital, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal is back to doing what he does best: Grabbing headlines.

A Delhi court sent Kejriwal to two-day judicial custody on Wednesday in a defamation case filed by former BJP chief Nitin Gadkari after he refused to furnish bail of Rs. 10,000, hours after declaring that the party was ready for fresh elections in the Capital. Kejriwal had allegedly included Gadkari in a list of politicians he branded the country's most corrupt.

The AAP leader, who was sent to Tihar, earlier in the day apologised for resigning as the Delhi CM within 49 days and asked people to give the party a decisive mandate.

With their leader in Tihar, party members and AAP supporters gathered outside the high-security jail in the evening to protest the arrest and clashed with the police. Section 144 was imposed in the area, barring assembly of more than 10 people.
