Apple, a major US IT company, has declined to unlock Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s iPhone. The corporation denied the Enforcement Directorate access to the device’s data, citing its policy of safeguarding user privacy.
Request from Enforcement Directorate Rejected
In an effort to obtain access to Kejriwal’s iPhone as part of their probe into the excise policy scam, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had made an informal contact to Apple. They, however, insisted that Kejriwal, as the owner, was the only one who could access the information on the device using the password he had created.
Kejriwal’s Response
Along with several other cell phones, Kejriwal’s iPhone was seized during an ED operation. Kejriwal allegedly declined to provide his password to the agency when they asked, citing discussions regarding his party’s electoral strategy and privacy concerns with regard to his data.
Charges Made Against Kejriwal
Kejriwal has been charged by the ED with providing “evasive replies” during interrogation, and they have shown evidence indicating that he may have been involved in bribery. The agency claims that Kejriwal asked a political figure for Rs 100 crore in return for benefits pertaining to the Delhi liquor sector.
