This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sebastian Fischer, a spokesperson for Germany’s foreign ministry, was answering a question asking how the German federal government assessed Kejriwal’s arrest, that it takes place weeks before the general election and that the Indian opposition sees it as politically motivated.

We assume and expect that the standards relating to the independence of the judiciary and fundamental democratic principles will also apply in this case,” Fischer said according to his ministry’s website.

He added that Kejriwal is “entitled to a fair, unbiased trial”, which he said “includes the right to make use of all existing legal remedies without restriction”.

Kejriwal, who is also head of the Aam Aadmi Party, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate financial crimes agency yesterday and is accused of being the “kingpin” in the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.

Party leader and Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia has been jailed in the case since February last year.

A Delhi court gave the Enforcement Directorate six days’ custody of Kejriwal on Friday evening, the Indian Express reported.
