In a dramatic turn of events, Arvind Kejriwal described the courtroom decision clearing him of corruption charges as a 'historic vindication' amid allegations of a high-stakes political conspiracy. Both Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia were acquitted in the excise policy case after a Delhi court found a lack of evidence.

Standing beside his former deputy, Kejriwal did not hold back his accusations, declaring that a plot to dismantle the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had been orchestrated at the highest levels of government. He claimed it was an attempt to malign political rivals through fabricated charges.

The court, presided over by Special Judge Jitendra Singh, discharged 21 accused individuals in total, including political figures from various parties, citing deficiencies in evidence provided by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Kejriwal's supporters hailed the ruling as a triumph of justice.
