Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were discharged by the court in the long-running excise policy case, ending years of legal proceedings. The duo was seen speaking to the media outside the court, but one moment quickly caught the attention of social media, sparking memes, jokes, and endless shares.

As he stepped out of the court, Kejriwal’s relief was visible in his emotional reaction. He repeatedly reaffirmed his integrity in front of the media and supporters, saying, “Kejriwal bhrasht nahi hai.” (Kejriwal is not corrupt.)

As things unfolded, journalists and media staff tried to calm him. One was heard saying, “Sambhaliye sir, apne aap ko, sambhaliye.” (Hold yourself together sir)

The scene then took an unexpected turn when a reporter realised an important shot was missed. Frustrated, he called out to his cameraman, asking, “Kejriwal ro raha hai yaar, tu kahaan reh gaya!” (Kejriwal is crying, man! Where were you?)

Kejriwal’s reaction and the reporter’s exchange quickly went viral. People on social media turned the clip into memes. Netizens joked about the funny moment between the reporter and the cameraman.

The moment outside the court didn’t just stay on the news; it exploded online. Social media users quickly turned Kejriwal’s tears and the reporter’s frantic shout into meme gold.
