Aam Aadmi Party leader and Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, left, greets officials as he arrives with his family at a polling booth to cast his vote in the sixth round of polling in India’s national election in New Delhi, India, Saturday, May 25, 2024.
Kejriwal’s arrest was widely condemned by opposition parties who called it a political move by the Modi government against one of his fiercest opponents during a national election. The New Delhi leader was given interim bail last month to campaign before going back to jail on June 2.
Modi’s government denies using law enforcement agencies to target the opposition and says the agencies act independently.
