Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday won half his big legal battle – bail awarded last month by a trial court, which the High Court had paused, was upheld this morning by the Supreme Court. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March in the alleged liquor policy scam. The Supreme Court’s ruling was the good news. The bad – he remains in jail since he was also arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation, days after the lower court’s bail, in the same case. Mr Kejriwal’s release by the top court, therefore, is, for now, a formality…
There is a reason why Amitabh Bachchan is called the “Shahenshah Of Bollywood”. From Sunday darshan outside his Mumbai home to the excitement ahead of a movie release, fans love the legendary actor.

Trainee IAS officer Puja Khedkar, who is in the eye of a storm over alleged misuse of power and claims that she made in her UPSC candidature, has landed in more trouble with the central government launching a probe against her.

The results of the 2024 general election appear to mark a significant shift in Dalit politics. There seems to be a sweeping departure from the traditional focus of Dalit politics on challenging India’s entrenched caste-based hierarchy. Historically, various Dalit political parties, such as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in the north, the Republican Party of India (RPI) in Maharashtra, and others like the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), the All Manipur Dalit Development Association, the Puthiya Tamilagam (PT) in Tamil Nadu, and the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) in Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring states, have shaped Dalit political discourse in India. However,…

Making a strong case for his client, senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi has said politics is writ large over Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal being arrested both by the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI in the alleged liquor policy scam and that the approach taken by the prosecution is not one that would be adopted by “prosecutors or even persecutors”. In an exclusive interview with NDTV on Friday, Mr Singhvi also claimed that the CBI taking the AAP chief into custody soon after he was granted bail in the ED case is proof that politics was at play and went…
