The decision followed a request demanding punishment for breaking the rules of video conferencing, back when Mr. Kejriwal was being held by the police after being arrested in connection with the purported liquor policy scheme.
On Saturday, the Delhi High Court sent notices to social media sites including Facebook and YouTube, as well as to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal, requesting that they remove uploads and/or reposts of a video that shows the AAP leader speaking before the court on March 28.
When Mr. Kejriwal was being held by the police after being arrested in connection with the purported liquor policy fraud, the court heard a petition for action alleging that he had violated the regulations governing video conferences.
The suit said that the video of the court hearings had been copied and uploaded online by Mrs. Kejriwal, the AAP, and a few opposition parties' social media accounts.
In the contested footage, Mr. Kejriwal is seen giving the court his version of the story.
Mr. Kejriwal spoke passionately to the court immediately, accusing the Enforcement Directorate of attempting "to crush" his party. Like the AAP, he made the observation that no "bribes" that his party was purportedly receiving had been found.
I was taken into custody, but no judge has found me guilty. The ED submitted twenty-five thousand pages of chargesheets, while the Central Bureau of Investigation filed thirty-one thousand. He challenged the court, "Even if you read them together, the question still stands: why have I been arrested?"
Additionally, Mr. Kejriwal used the remarks made by approvers, or those who were accused and went on to testify for the government, implying that they had been forced to make the accusations against him.
He said, "Three statements were given (by one witness), but the court only saw those that accused me. The ED's sole goal was to trap me." Why? This is incorrect.
The Enforcement Directorate detained the Delhi Chief Minister on March 21 on suspicion that he was instrumental in organizing the purported liquor policy fraud.
The federal agency claims that under a new policy with inflated profit margins, Mr. Kejriwal's AAP government accepted bribes in exchange for the issuance of liquor sales licenses. Specifically, the bribes came from a "South cartel," which includes Telangana lawmaker K Kavitha, the daughter of former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
The AAP subsequently utilized these payments, which the ED claims total at least ₹ 100 crore, to finance its election campaigns in Punjab and Goa.
Mr. Kejriwal was detained for more than 50 days; during this time, the AAP, the opposition BJP, prison staff, and the ED made accusations and counterclaims over his health. The Chief Minister, who has diabetes, said he was being purposefully refused insulin, a necessary medication.
But the federal agency said that Mr. Kejriwal had fabricated a jump in his blood sugar levels in order to get release on the pretext of illness, and it also objected to calls for a medical consultation.
The Supreme Court ultimately granted Mr. Kejriwal temporary release, citing the AAP chief's inability to be prevented from advocating for his party during a national election.
The party's public face during Mr. Kejriwal's incarceration was his wife, together with senior officials Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj. Mrs. Kejriwal even gave a passionate speech at a political gathering attended by members of the AAP-led INDIA bloc, which is headed by the Congress.
After gaining prominence in politics, there was speculation that Mrs. Kejriwal may enter the field full-time, especially because the Delhi Assembly election is scheduled for the following year. Despite her appearance, Mr. Kejriwal said last month that she is unlikely to run for office again since she has no interest in active politics.
