Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court sends Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till April 15 in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
As reported by ANI, Delhi CM said, “What the PM is doing is not good for the country.”
He appeared before Special Judge Kaveri Baweja in a crowded courtroom.
Members of the AAP, including Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj, and Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal, were in attendance.
Kejriwal was arrested by the federal probe agency on March 21 in connection with the case.
The next day, Special Judge Baweja ordered him to remain in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) until March 28.
Subsequently, the court granted the ED’s request for an extension of his custodial interrogation by four days until April 1.
In its remand application, the probe agency has accused the AAP leader of “being involved in the entire conspiracy of Delhi liquor scam, in drafting and implementation of the policy, for favouring and benefiting the quid pro receiving kickbacks and eventually using part of proceeds of crime generated out of the scheduled offence in the election campaign for Goa Assembly elections”.
