Supporters of an anti-corruption crusader and one of Indias most consequential politicians of the past decade held protests today (Friday 22 March) against his arrest. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested yesterday by a federal agency that accused his party and ministers of accepting 1 billion rupees ($12 million) in bribes from liquor contractors nearly two years ago, a top leader of his party said.
