 Arvind Kejriwal's First Order From ED Custody: Can A Chief Minister Run Govt From Jail? - News18
==========

Arvind Kejriwal issued his first order from the Enforcement Directorate's custody, directing sufficient water tankers to be provided in areas facing shortages before the summer months arrive. The Aam Aadmi Party has maintained that Kejriwal will continue to serve as Delhi CM despite his arrest. There is no legal requirement preventing a Chief Minister from holding office while under investigation. The party also considered asking the court for permission to hold Cabinet meetings in jail and set up Kejriwal's office in jail to manage government affairs from there. Kejriwal was arrested on Thursday night by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case connected to alleged irregularities in formulating and implementing the now-scrapped excise policy. He has been remanded in ED custody until March 28.
