The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has formally arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday. The development came after the Rouse Avenue Court allowed the CBI to examine Kejriwal in the courtroom and asked it to place on record the material that they have for his arrest, reported news agency ANI.

Kejriwal was brought to Rouse Avenue Court by CBI on Wednesday morning for a hearing in the Delhi excise policy case where Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal also accompanied him.
