Just a background for people who don't know about Delhi CM:

- He came to power by using India Against Corruption movement which was led by Anna Hazare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Hazare

- Once capturing power, he kicked out founding member like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumar_Vishwas and his close associates like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogendra_Yadav and many others & became de-facto leader of this party. (Now his wife seems to chief of this party)

- In this specific case, Indian Investigators summoned him 9 times and he refused their request for meeting and finally he was arrested after court refused to stay any arrest by Investigators

IMHO, he should have corporated with Investigator, rather than trying to keep them at bay.

PS: I used to be huge supporter of him during those time (2011-2014) and even donated small money (my only donation to any political party till now) while he formed the party (which I regret now).

PS2: Interestingly, his mentor Anna Hazare (who stayed away from his political party and doesnt have political ambitions) said "His arrest is a result of his own actions" https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/result-of-his-own-act...
