In a dramatic courtroom finale on Friday (February 27), former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was discharged by the Rouse Avenue Court in the high-profile Delhi Excise Policy case, prompting an emotional breakdown where he tearfully declared himself “kattar imaandar” (staunchly honest) and unleashed a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Surrounded by supporters, Kejriwal’s voice cracked as he proclaimed the ruling a triumph of truth and the Indian justice system, accusing the BJP leadership of orchestrating a malicious conspiracy against him. “Accused ko discharge kar diya, stay ki jeet hui! We have trust in bharat nyay pranali. Satya ki jeet hui, Bhagwan hamare saath hain,” he exclaimed, referencing the six months he spent in jail as a sitting CM and Manish Sisodia’s prolonged detention in what he called a “fake case.” The emotional outpouring marked a stunning reversal for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, who had faced relentless scrutiny over the now-scrapped policy.
