A practising advocate, Vaibhav Singh, has filed a plea in the Delhi High Court seeking contempt action against Arvind Kejriwal (chief of the Aam Aadmi Party) and several other leaders for allegedly sharing videos of court proceedings in the excise policy case. These videos feature Kejriwal arguing for the recusal of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, who is presiding over the case. The plea requests the removal of the videos from social media platforms and follows a recent directive from the Delhi High Court ordering the Delhi Police to take them down. The plea also names other political figures, including Congress leader Digvijay Singh and AAP leaders Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and others. The controversy stems from the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) appeal against a trial court's discharge order related to the excise policy case, where Kejriwal and 21 others were previously discharged. Justice Sharma had dismissed the recusal applications made by Kejriwal and others, stating that the arguments presented were not sufficient for recusal.
